Python can't find installed module ('slackclient')

Question

I am trying to build a slack bot for learning purpose but when I run the script get this error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'slackclient'

I tried install and uninstall and then re-install with python -m pip install slackclient

import os
import time
import re
from slackclient import SlackClient

# instantiate Slack client
slack_client = SlackClient(os.environ.get('SLACK_BOT_TOKEN'))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    if slack_client.rtm_connect(with_team_state=False):
        print("Starter Bot connected and running!")
        #Read bot's user ID by calling Web API method 'auth.test'
        starterbot_id = slack_client.api_call("auth.test")["user_id"]
        while True:
            command, channel = parse_bot_commands(slackclient.rtm_read())
            if command:
                handle_command(command, channel)
            time.sleep(RTM_READ_DELAY)
    else:
        print("Connection failed. Exception traceback printed above.")

Solution

While the PyPI package is called slackclient, you import the module using the name slack:

import slack

Or, for example:

from slack import WebClient

Thank you, I just realized the guide that I am following how to build the bot is using the 1.1.0 package.
