Robot Framework - can't find python module

I decided to copy exactly the tutorial found here but somehow when i run it i keep getting the error

"[ ERROR ] Error in file 'C:\Users\path\to\tests': Importing test library 'ExampleLibrary' failed: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ExampleLibrary' "

Now i tried both with the .py extension and without, just in case, but for some reason it doesn't work. Both files are in the same folder.

I have python 3 installed. I only copied the .tsv (renamed to a .robot) and .py files.

I don't understand why it doesn't work. If i work with only .robot files everything is fine.

You should describe exactly what you're doing in your question, including all the involved source code...not make readers try to construct what you're doing from an external link. - CryptoFool
Can you show what's you do in detail more than this ? - Sidara KEO

Note that in case your Python file contains a class which contains a function that you wish to use as a keyword, then the name of the class MUST be the same as the name of the Python file you import as a library, i.e. -Library MyLibrary.py within the *** Settings *** section of the .robot file while the name of the class within the is ALSO exactly MyLibrary, i.e. - within the MyLibrary.py file: class MyLibrary:.... - Guy Avraham

You have to specify the relative path from the file .robot to the .py file: 

Library ./ExampleLibrary.py

or the absolute. Or put the folder inside the PYTHONPATH env. variable and add the .py extension to the ExampleLibrary, because it is only a file and not a proper library (inside a folder).

Side note, the Python library file is incompatible with Python3 as it is now, and you have to make some minor corrections.
