bcrypt error while trying to import pysftp or paramiko

I'm trying to use pysftp on python, although pysftp is installed I get a Bcrypt ImportError

So I uninstalled and re-installed bcrypt, checked the location of the directory spyder is referring to for importing packages, bcrypt exists. Also checked that the init.py file exists . Checked inside the init.py file that the module _bcrypt exists. Even tried importing bcrypt separately.

import bcrypt import pysftp

import pysftp Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in import pysftp
