Bug

Python is giving back errors that module spotipy does not exist. I tried installing the module multiple times with pip but nothing seems to make it work.

pip install spotipy
pip3 install spotipy

I even tried playing around with the 'setup.py' file.

batch:
python setup.py build
python setup.py build_py
python setup.py install
python setup.py install_lib

For some reason on the command prompt I do not get any issues importing the module, only when it comes to using it in a script.

This issue is building off of the issue from this post:
https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/issues/254#issue-296182129

Enviorment

OS: Windows 11 Home and Raspberry Pi OS Lite
Python version 3.9.10
Spotipyversion: 2.19.0
IDE: Sipder, Jupyter Notebook, VS Code, Command Prompt

Screenshots

Loads in on Windows Terminal (command prompt)

Doesn't work on all other IDEs

And yes, it is installed when checked with pip freeze. I also reboot after each install to rule that out.

You seem to have multiple versions of python installed and your terminal defaults to one (where you have the module successfully installed) - look at the version: 3.9.10
To check where exactly the executable is located you can run
python -c "import os, sys; print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))" in your Windows Terminal.

But your VSCode runs version 3.10 (from c:\users\genni\appdata...)

Do you know know how I would change it back to 3.9.10 on VS code or spider?

I'm going to close this issue as there's no activity. Also it seems to be somewhat outdated.
