FuzzyWuzzy doesn't find Python-Levenshtein in Python 3.7

[JDGHHou]

I have Python-Levenshtein completely installed. When I try to run:
py -m pip install Python-Levenshtein
It says:
Requirement already up-to-date: Python-Levenshtein in {location of install}

So, I have Python-Levenshtein. I don't need to install it. I have the latest version.

However, I am still getting the warning from FuzzyWuzzy:
UserWarning: Using slow pure-python SequenceMatcher. Install python-levenshtein to remove this warning.

I'm getting this as well.

Error comes after it tells it requirements are met.

Running setup.py install for Python-Levenshtein ... error

I was able to correctly install Python-Levenshtein on Windows by
Downloadting these Visual Studio C++ tools - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126&fixForIE=.exe
Then, when installing:
Customize and select the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 versions
