Usual caveat: The tutor list is targeted at the standard library
so any help for non standard library modules is best sought from
the library support fora. In this case that includes the SciPy forum
and any illustris one.

That having been said, I'll take a guess...

Are these folders in your PYTHONPATH? If not Python will not find them.

You probably need to add the folders to PYTHONPATH environment
variable. How you do that depends on your shell. But any shell
tutorial will show you how. The format of PYTHONPATH is the same
as most other Unix PATHs - eg $PATH, $MANPATH, etc

The other thing to check is that there is not a pip compatible
installer which will put it in the right place for you... often
somewhere in site-packages.
