Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1029

I installed spotipy into a virtual environment on my windows machine with this command.
pip install spotipy
It installs without any errors. When I run pip list within my virtual environment it also shows up as spotipy 2.23.0.

If I run python in a terminal and import spotipy, it seems to work.
However, when I import it in a jupyter notebook or a python console in jupyter lab, it does not work saying there's no module named spotipy.

Environment:

OS == Windows 11
Python version == 3.8.0
spotipy version == 2.23.0
IDE == Jupyter Lab

Additional context
Any other packages that I have installed in my virtual environment are imported with no issues. Its only spotipy which does not import. I also tried installing spotipy with various other commands on the internet regarding specifying pip3, python3, -m etc.

I referred to the following issues but there was no resolution.

[#254 ]
[#34 ]

These are rather old as well. The solution proposed was regarding added compatibility with python 3 but that sounds like an outdated problem.

Just a quick question: are you all using Jupyter, or does this problem also occur in a Python script?

Well, since I didn't get a single answer, I'm going to close this issue.
