Import problems - Lux - Oct-07-2017

I am trying to use python-docx, but I can't get it to import. I'm pretty sure it's installed- if I do pip install python-docx, I get the message: Requirement already satisfied: python-docx in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages.

Writing that, I realized that the file might be in the wrong place (it says 2.7 but I'm using python 3), but I don't know how to change that and I am useless with the command line stuff.

What should I do?

You should tell that you use Mac.
Homebrew is standard for Mac.
$ pip2 -V  # pip pointing to the Homebrew installed Python 2 interpreter
$ pip3 -V  # pip pointing to the Homebrew installed Python 3 interpreter (if installed)
Doing it right from Hitchhiker's Guide to Python.

You have to use pip3 to install in python3 site-packages
