Installing pyperclip module - Truman - Apr-27-2018

Hi, not sure that this is the right subforum to ask but it's also not a coding problem so will put it here.
I installed pyperclip module in my command prompt by typing pip install pyperclip. Then it installed the module and gave me confirming message. But when I try to import module in my editor and then process it I receive a message ModuleNotFoundError:No module named 'pyperclip'

Do you know what's the problem here?

Your editor interpreter(there setup for this) most point to same Python version you have in command line when run pip.
C:\>pip -V
pip 9.0.3 from c:\python36\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)

C:\>python -V
Python 3.6.5

C:\>python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
C:\python36\python.exe

C:\>pip install pyperclip
Collecting pyperclip

  Running setup.py install for pyperclip ... done

# So now it will of course work,editor may not point to this interpreter 
C:\>python
Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 16:07:46) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyperclip
>>> pyperclip.copy('test')
>>> pyperclip.paste()
'test'

and then after calling my file I receive the same error message ModuleNotFoundError:No module named 'pyperclip'

Delete __pycache__ in root of Python36 folder.
Run cmd Administrator,try update pip again.

Do exactly what i have showed in cmd,you most make sure all work from cmd.
Then can setup editor later.
This stuff has to work or you have to reinstall an follow Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows

I don't know what you are doing.
Maybe it's most easy to start fresh with link i posted about install.
