Python: ImportError: No module named Selenium Windows

Question

I am using python 3.6 on windows10. I created a virtual environment with:

python -m venv venv

Then I installed a few packages and also installed selenium with the command:

pip install selenium

However when I import selenium, I get an error saying:

ImportError: No module named selenium

when I run the script in cmd. But when I run the same code in VSCode, it gives no errors. I am unable to understand the reason behind this. Also, I tried uninstalling and installing the whole environment again. No changes observed.

Note: I am planning to deploy this project to Heroku. So please give any suggestions you think would be necessary to do when deploying to Heroku.

To install selenium

C:\Automation\DevelopBranch> pip install selenium

Can you please check Selenium is installed.

C:\Automation\DevelopBranch>pip freeze
selenium==3.141.0
urllib3==1.25.6
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 20.0.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' comm
and.

Code:

from selenium import webdriver:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"path of chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

python main.py
