How to edit an installed python xbee module library in Ubuntu

Question

I have installed Xbee python module in Ubunto16.04, But I need to edit and add some code in one of its basic modules. it was suggested to download the source, edit desired files, and install it from source. so I uninstalled last installed Xbee package, then I downloaded the source from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XBee#downloads and after extracting and editing desired files. used this command:

python setup.py install

but when I came back to run my code I got the message:

importError:No module named 'xbee'

how should I fix this?

did you use `sudo` with your installation command? in order to install and use package globally, you need root access in your installation. — Parham Alvani, Sep 19 '17 at 17:19
and did you use same python version for Xbee installation and running your code? — Parham Alvani, Sep 19 '17 at 22:30
did you try `build` before installation using `python setup.py build`? — Parham Alvani, Sep 22 '17 at 18:29
@ParhamAlvani documentation didn't mention this but is uninstalled everything and did it from the beginning, it still doesn't work. — Pooya Khandel, Sep 23 '17 at 07:18

You need to use xbee library as project module instead of install, you need to download XBee-2.3.1.tar.gz and extract it. Directory contains module xbee, copy it to your root project and you can update code in it.
