using modules in python

I want to use some modules in python with the software Spyder and I installed some modules like panda on my computer. One of the modules I installed is matplotlib_venn which I downloaded from pypi.python.org. I installed the same way as panda and it says the installation was succesfull but when I try to import the matplotlib_venn module as followed:

from matplotlib_venn import venn3, venn3_circles

This gives me the error:

runfile('C:/Users/gebruiker/.spyder-py3/temp.py', wdir='C:/Users/gebruiker/.spyder-py3')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-18-20ac6695c8d8>", line 1, in <module>
runfile('C:/Users/gebruiker/.spyder-py3/temp.py', wdir='C:/Users/gebruiker/.spyder-py3')

  File "C:\Users\gebruiker\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 710, in runfile
execfile(filename, namespace)

  File "C:\Users\gebruiker\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py", line 101, in execfile
exec(compile(f.read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)

File "C:/Users/gebruiker/.spyder-py3/temp.py", line 1, in <module>
from matplotlib_venn import venn3, venn3_circles

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib_venn'

If I import panda as pd there is no problem, can someone try to explain how this is possible or maybe connect me to the right forum where this is already discussed? I tried to find it on my own but my knowledge of this is not really good.

Thanks already

It seems that the installation location is not where python is expecting the module files. a quick work around it to just copy the files and directories to the expected location, in this case it seems to be looking for the files in:

C:\Users\gebruiker\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder

So just copy the files there from the python lib directory.
