"ImportError: No module named suncalc" ... although installed via "pip install suncalcPy"

Short: I get "ImportError: No module named suncalc" ... although installed via "pip install suncalcPy"

Tips how to solve?

Long:

sander@sammie:~$ pip install suncalcPy
Collecting suncalcPy
Installing collected packages: suncalcPy
Successfully installed suncalcPy-0.1

but I get:

sander@sammie:~$ python -c "import suncalc"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named suncalc
sander@sammie:~$ 

It is really installed:

sander@sammie:~$ pip uninstall suncalcPy

Clone repository and create a init.py file. This will allow you to import suncalc directly from the source code dir.
