ImportError: No module named 'speech_recognition' in python IDLE

Question

I'm trying to use the speech recognition module with python 3.5.1 to make my jarvis AI voice activated! I have looked through stack overflow and found some questions similar to mine but they did not have the answer that i needed, i need an answer individualized for this. I have downloaded all the necessary packages and still no luck, i get this error:

ImportError: No module named 'speech_recognition'

If I run:

python -m speech_recognition

In terminal it runs only in terminal, i can talk to it and it isn't nearly spot on but it hears me and and can interpret some words. I have downloaded all the packages in terminal from this sites instructions.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/

When i run my code in IDLE my code gets the error shown above. I'm on a iMac running macOS Sierra 10.12.2, if anyone has the answer that would be helpful. Thank you!

heres my code:

import speech_recognition
import pyttsx

speech_engine = pyttsx.init('sapi5') # see         
speech_engine.setProperty('rate', 150)

def speak(text):
   speech_engine.say(text)
   speech_engine.runAndWait()

recognizer = speech_recognition.Recognizer()

def listen():
    with speech_recognition.Microphone() as source:
        recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
        audio = recognizer.listen(source)

    try:
        return recognizer.recognize_sphinx(audio) 
        # or: return recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
    except speech_recognition.UnknownValueError:
        print("Could not understand audio")
    except speech_recognition.RequestError as e:
        print("Recog Error; {0}".format(e))

    return ""



speak("Say something!")
speak("I heard you say " + listen())
