python-2.7 xlsxwriter

I recently downloaded the xlsxwriter version 0.6.4 and installed it on my computer. It correctly added it to my C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\xlsxwriter folder, however when I try to import it I get the error ImportError: No module named xlsxwriter. The traceback is File "F:\Working\ArcGIS\ArcGIS .py\Scripts\Append_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:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy) it has no problem.

Any idea of what could be causing this issue?

Thanks for the help.
