I managed to resolve this issue as follows...

Be careful, make sure you understand the IDE you're using! - Because I didn't. I was trying to import xlsxwriter using PyCharm and was returning this error.

Assuming you have already attempted the pip installation (sudo pip install xlsxwriter) via your cmd prompt, try using another IDE e.g. Geany - & import xlsxwriter.

I tried this and Geany was importing the library fine. I opened PyCharm and navigated to 'File>Settings>Project:>Project Interpreter' xlslwriter was listed though intriguingly I couldn't import it! I double clicked xlsxwriter and hit 'install Package'... And thats it! It worked!

Hope this helps...

Even if it looks like the module is installed  as far as Python is concerned it isn t since it throws that exception  Try installing the module again using one of the installation methods shown in the XlsxWriter docs and look out for any installation errors  If there are none then run a sample program like the following  import xlsxwriter  workbook   xlsxwriter Workbook  hello xlsx   worksheet   workbook add worksheet    worksheet write  A1    Hello world    workbook close

I am not sure what caused this but it went all well once I changed the path name from Lib into lib and I was finally able to make it work
