There's no general answer to that question - it depends a lot on the specific module. Some have separate versions for 2 vs 3 - others have one version that can support either. But in the latter case, the installation is usually specific to the Python version - you can't just install it once, and have it used by both 2 and 3 (you have to install two copies, even if it's the same source package). And yes, a lot of modules still don't support Python 3 at all.
