I am running Windows 10, using the VSC editor and Python 3.9.4
My goal is to convert an existing csv file to a pdf.

I installed the required module by entering: pip install fpdf. Then I wrote a few lines of code and decided to check and see if the installation worked before I continued. It did not as I received the above mentioned error message.

I then went to my environment variables and added in this path:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\\lib\

That did not work, so then I did this:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\lib\site-packages\fpdf

Closed down the apps and re-booted my computer.

Re-ran my code and I get the same error.

How can I resolve this issue

Do not do this.
Do pip -V this the Python version it install to.
Example.

# Show path to version it install to
C:\code
λ pip -V
pip 21.0.1 from c:\python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

# Install
C:\code
λ pip install fpdf
Collecting fpdf
  Downloading fpdf-1.7.2.tar.gz (39 kB)
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for fpdf, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Installing collected packages: fpdf
    Running setup.py install for fpdf ... done
Successfully installed fpdf-1.7.2

# Test that it work
C:\code
λ python

>>> from fpdf import FPDF

>>> pdf = FPDF()
>>> pdf.add_page()
>>> pdf.set_font('Arial', 'B', 16)
>>> pdf.cell(40, 10, 'Hello World!')
>>> pdf.output('tuto1.pdf', 'F')
''

Now that all work from command line make sure that down in left corner VS Code,
that same version as tested over is used.
Python 3.9/3.8 and pip installation under Windows
VS Code from start

Hi
I tried what you said and it still doesn`t work.
Getting same error as before:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fpdf'

Do pip show fpdf.
Can do test in VS Code to and i am pretty sure that it work🔨
As in image under click down in left corner and make sure that same root path to Python match.
So in my case that is C:\Python39\...
For you it should be C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\...

Hi

I decided to uninstall and reinstall python
issue is resolved now.

Thank you for helping me.
