PIP says it installed a package, but actually did not

In pip I simply typed pip install discord. If I tried again, which I did, it responds like in the image. But python says it isn't installed. pycharm says the async def <name>(): is okay, which has never happened before without discord imported correctly (It checks for that). PyCharm also usualy tells me when a module isn't installed. This Was not happening yesterday, but all of a sudden now.

pip install discord

async def <name>():

Any help would be much, much appreciated as the server this bot runs on hates it when it's offline.

EDIT:

After trying @javajavs' answer, it's still doing the same thing. Except this time it says that discord and discord.py are installed, even when it raises an ImportError.

ImportError

EDIT 2:

I'll include the source code here for reference:

import discord

import Utilities as util

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

message.content = str(message.content)
if message.content.startswith("-pet"):
await client.send_message(message.channel, "0, 1 is petting you! n 2".format("Catto", str("<@"+message.author.id+">"), random.choice(cats)))
if message.author == client.user:

await client.delete_message(message)

Edit 3:

So, after a while of thinking, I went into cmd and tryed to run pip from the venv folder.

cmd

C:Users*****>cd venv
C:Users*****venv>cd Scripts
C:Users*****venvScripts>pip3 install discord


It installed it..? I tried to run the program, but it raised an error...

Traceback (most recent call last):

pip install discord.py

pip install discord

if you are using an environment created by pycharm, downloading discord.py onto your regular python folder wont help since they use two different python environments. go to settings > project: > Project interpreter and press the green plus on the right side of the screen. now type the name of the module (discord.py) and download the one you need. hit apply. now you have discord.py installed.

EDIT: you installed the 0.16 version. you may want to delete it and download the 1.X.X version since thats the one you seem to be using.

EDIT 2: delete the 0.0.2 discord. its not supposed to be there and is interfering with the import process.

So... I was getting annoyed with the fact that it wasn't working. I decided to close pycharm, delete .idea, and reload it. I did that, it didn't work. I deleted .idea again, but before running it, changed the interpreter...

.idea

.idea

IT. WORKED.

I guess it didn't save the interpreter in .idea properly...

.idea
