The pip wheel contains the python version in its name (cp34-cp34m). If you download the whl file and rename it to say py3-none or instead, it should work. Can you try that?

The installation won't work for anaconda users that choose python 3 support because the installation procedure is asking to create a python 3.5 environment and the file is currently called cp34-cp34m. So renaming it would do the job for now.

sudo pip3 install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.7.0-cp34-cp34m-linux_x86_64.whl

This will produced the exact error message you got above. However, when you will downloaded the file yourself and rename it to "tensorflow-0.7.0-py3-none-linux_x86_64.whl", then execute the command again with changed filename, it should work fine.
