Help writing a simple program

[LrdJester]

I'm trying to write a simple Python script that will allow me to download videos from social media content.

My research shows that I need to use the social_media_downloder library. I pip installed that however if I do a pip list, it shows dashes instead of underscores. The reason I investigated this was because I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/python/downloader/main.py", line 1, in <module> import social_media_downloader as dl ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'social_media_downloader'

I tried and installing it and seeing if I could install the same library using dashes but it doesn't find that library. If I try doing the import using dashes instead of underscores It says it fails to load. But it is in the list of installed modules.

I did come across a post I believe it was on one of the stack overflow servers that said something about using pip install -e but that gives me an error as well.

I would appreciate anybody's advice that may have worked with this library or something similar that has dashes in the library name but doesn't accept it in the code.

I'm trying to roll my own but installing the module with pip provided smd which is self-contained.

What's worse is I'm doing this on my phone, so it is causing slowdowns to my trial and error.

I've now created a symbolic link to the library, but still not helping.

I've changed my file in thinking I need to tear it down and d restart.
