You need to ensure that it is within your PYTHONPATH environment variable. This is also viewable in IDLE via:

import sys
print ( repr(sys.path) )

Not real sure what the issue is, perhaps there is a permissions issue on the folder? Or you may be launching IDLE under a version other than python 3.7, etc. But the problem is on your end, somewhere.

I can help you resolve this, but will need further information.

As in, "c:\program files\python 3.7\lib\site-packages" should appear within that list when you print sys.path. If it does -- there is some permissions issue you can probably resolve by right clicking on the folder -> properties -> and adding the rights. This can happen in multi-user environments on windows.

If it does not, then you are not launching IDLE under python 3.7, which I suspect is the issue here.
