Noob Error: No module named telethon

I used python modules before, and I thought I knew how to install them. But I’m stuck.

I’m trying to create a Python script that uses Telegram and Instagram to do some automated tasks.

So, I’ve installed telethon using pip pip3 install telethon. And also libssl I’ve created a test file named AntidoteBot_Telegram_v1.py in my Projects Folder. My code is:

from telethon import TelegramClient

api_id = xxxxx
api_hash = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

client = TelegramClient('antidotebot', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()

for dialog in client.get_dialogs(limit=15):
    print(utils.get_display_name(dialog.entity), dialog.draft.message)

client.disconnect()

But I’m unable to start it. Error:

pi@raspberrypi_alex:~/Projects/InstaPy $ python AntidoteBot_Telegram_v1.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "AntidoteBot_Telegram_v1.py", line 1, in <module>
    from telethon import TelegramClient
ImportError: No module named telethon

What am I doing wrong?

python might be python2, and you used (the right) pip3 to install it. So run python3 maybe.
