How have you installed eyeD3?  Perhaps there's something wrong with
the installation.  Certainly, 'import eyeD3' should not create any
errors.

That's not what you want to do.  ID3_ANY_VERSION is defined in
eyeD3/__init__.py.  If you quote it, you're breaking it.

That's hard to guess at.  If you can explain what you have done and
how you've installed eyeD3, that would help.
