Rule #1 on module not found errors: it's always a path problem.

Unfortunately, on today's systems, there are often many places things 
can go as you may have several Pythons, several virtualenvs, etc.

The basic rule is to install with the Python you're intending to use, 
that way the paths it's going to look in are the same paths your 
packages got installed in.

In the case of VS Code, you can open a terminal (inside the IDE) and run 
your pip commands there, and that will be happening in the environment 
that is defined for your project.  In the case of PyCharm, you can click 
on the Python version in the lower right and click Interpreter Settings, 
through there you can search for and install packages from PyPi. Either 
one will give you the option to setup a fresh virtualenv for the 
project, which you may want to do since you're unsure of the current state.
