python 2.7 - ImportError: No module named xlsxwriter

Question

I recently downloaded the xlsxwriter version 0.6.4 and installed it on my computer. It correctly added it to my C:Python27Libsite-packagesxlsxwriter folder, however when I try to import it I get the error ImportError: No module named xlsxwriter. The traceback is File "F:WorkingArcGISArcGIS .pyScriptsAppend_Geodatabase.py".

However if I try to import numpy (I can't remember what numby is, however it is located in the same site-packages folder C:Python27Libsite-packages umpy) it has no problem.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue?

Thanks for the help.
