title: Unable to import tweepy module
body: <p>I am new to installing new python modules.</p>
  
  <p>I installed tweepy using pip install tweepy. The installation was successful and 2 folders tweepy &amp; tweepy-3.3.0.dist-info are created in the Lib/site-packages, hence I assumed all should be fine.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I went to the IDE and import tweepy. It is unable to detect the module:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import tweepy
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;interactive input&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named tweepy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is wrong?</p>
  
  <p>I am running python 2.7.5.</p>
  
  <p><strong>[Update 1]</strong> I am using windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>I first installed pip using another forum's suggestion (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4750806/how-to-install-pip-on-windows">How do I install pip on Windows?</a>). basically saving the get-pip.py script and double clicking it (unable to get "python get-pip.py" to work in cmd prompt as suggested). Then, I went to cmd and nagivated to C:/Python27/Scripts and type in pip install tweepy. I remembered seeing the result as a successful installation.</p>
  
  <p><strong>[Update 2]</strong> Using a file with import tweepy and running it, I have a similar error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 326, in RunScript
      exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
    File "C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\Script1.py", line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
      from tweepy import Stream
  ImportError: No module named tweepy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>[Update 3]</strong> Typed "pip freeze" in cmd. It does show tweepy=3.3.0</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python27\Scripts&gt;pip freeze 
  oauthlib==0.7.2 
  requests==2.7.0 
  requests-oauthlib==0.5.0 
  six==1.9.0 
  tweepy==3.3.0 
  wheel==0.24.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>[Answer]</strong> Thanks for all the help guys, especially Cleb &amp; omri_saadon suggestion that there might be something wrong with the file path.</p>
  
  <p>I just realised that my GIS software, ArcGIS by default installed another Python into the Python27 folder, and everything is taken from that folder, C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2, instead of C:\Python27. After I install tweepy from C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2\Scripts, everything works well.</p>
