Inconsistent python module version

Question

I got inconsistent module version number of selenium.

I installed selenium 3.141.0 offline:

>pip download selenium==3.141.0

>pip install --no-index --find-links E:\pip-selenium\3.141.0 selenium
Collecting selenium
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (from selenium)
Installing collected packages: selenium
Successfully installed selenium-3.141.0

Yet I get 3.4.0 in __version__ variable:

>python
Python 2.7.15 (v2.7.15:ca079a3ea3, Apr 30 2018, 16:30:26) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import selenium
>>> print selenium.__version__
3.4.0

If I run pip list it says the version is 3.141.0:

>pip list
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
comtypes (1.1.4)
mysql-python (1.2.3)
pip (9.0.3)
pyodbc (4.0.23)
pywin32 (223)
pywinauto (0.6.4)
selenium (3.141.0)
setuptools (39.0.1)
six (1.11.0)
urllib3 (1.25.3)

What's happening?

Do you have python3 as well! ? check pip3 list! and pip --version — Fasty, Aug 05 '19 at 07:02
The only possibility I can think is that your downloaded package is wrong. Try to check it first. — Sraw, Aug 05 '19 at 07:19
I specified the version when `pip download`, still the same result. — johan, Aug 05 '19 at 07:26
This could be a possible issue. As in your `pip` command it shows `c:\python27`. You see, one is uppercase and one is lowercase. Not sure if you have two python2.7 in your system or this is just a display issue. — Sraw, Aug 05 '19 at 07:34

This happens because I have two versions of selenium installed. Check sys.path and look for duplicate packages in those directories.
