I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have got some site-packages for python via pip, but they work for python2.7
. how can I use these site-packages in python3.4
IDLE?

Simply when you install the site packages make sure you install them on both python systems. For example if you want to install pygame on python 2 and 3:
apt-get install python-pygame # for python 2.x
apt-get install python3-pygame # for python 3.x
Also remember the command to start the Python 3 interpreter from the terminal is:
python3
You cannot. There is no backwards compatability between versions 2 and 3.
However, if you have python 2.x actually installed, make your way to its install file and launch IDLE from there.
It will launch the 2.x version.
