ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'IPython', but ipython is installed

I have tried to put this script in the sitecustomize.py file, to be able to see colored error messages in visual studio code.

the script:

import sys
from IPython.core.ultratb import ColorTB

sys.excepthook = ColorTB()

I got the error message above even though I have used pip to install ipython.

EDIT:

I tried to use coloredlogs instead of ipython and it showed me the same message again

Please use the command "pip show ipython" to check the installation location of the module: (If it does not display the location of the module, it means that the terminal used environment is inconsistent with the selected one.)

Then find the folder of the module in this python environment, try to delete it, and then reinstall it:

The IPython module only works inside iPython, not inside any other IDE/Shell/etc.
