No module named PXSSH

I am just a beginner using python 2.7 . Please forgive my naive- ness

my following code is not working 

import sys
import os
import time
import re
import pxssh

a = ['192.168.50.11', '192.168.50.12']

for i in a:
    Host  = i
    print Host
    User = "xyz"
    Password = "abc"
    tn = pxssh.pxssh(Host)
    tn.read_until("login as: ")
    tn.write(User + "\n")
    tn.read_until("Password: ")
    tn.write(Password + "\n")
    tn.read_until("#")
    tn.write("show run\n")
    time.sleep(3)
    output = tn.read_all()
    time.sleep(3)
    f = open("C:/Python27/file/"+ Host + ".txt", "w+")
    f.write(output)
    f.close()
    tn.close()

it gives me following error : 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python27/backup_config_files", line 5, in <module>
    import pxssh
ImportError: No module named pxssh

Please let me know how can i resolve this pxssh module issue with python 2.7 in windows

This question is similar to this one.

pxssh is a class, that you must import from the module pexpect.

Your import would look like:

from some.location.pexpect import pxssh

If you do not have the pexpect module, pip install pexpect in bash in your working environment.

Install pexpect using 

pip install pexpect

Then import using

from pexpect import pxssh
