Getting an error for a module that I definitely imported

Question

import pyinputplus as pyip while True: prompt='Want to know how to keep an idiot busy for hours?n' response=pyip.inputYesNo(prompt) if response=='no': break print('Thank you. Have a nice day.') When I run my above code , I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:usersXXXXXXmu_codeidiot.py", line 1, in import pyinputplus as pyip File "c:usersXXXXXXmu_codepyinputplus__init__.py", line 15, in import pysimplevalidate as pysv # type: ignore ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysimplevalidate' I cannot figure it out. The module is definitely installed. I've even moved it from the folder it was originally installed in to the mu folder where the py file is saved. Any help would be appreciated.

The ModuleError says that you do not have pysimplevalidate installed.
Using the same python executable as you are using to run your script (idiot.py), run
python -m pip install pysimplevalidate

or, even more bullet-proof:
<path_to_python.exe> -m pip install pysimplevalidate

If you are not sure what python executable the script is using, you can check it with
# put this on top of your script
import sys
print(sys.executable) # will print C:pathtopython.exe
