Hmmm...
Here I get:
$ apt-show-versions -b | grep "\<python3.4\>"
python3.4:amd64/jessie
python3.4-minimal:amd64/jessie

What does apt-cache say about python3.4? Here I get
$ apt-cache policy python3.4
python3.4:
  Installiert:           3.4.2-1
  Installationskandidat: 3.4.2-1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 3.4.2-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Not sure why this happens. Maybe the package cache needs to be updated
first with apt-cache gencaches ? Or isn't jessie in your sources.list?

Regards

Michael
