No Module Named GIS - Python Error

No Module Named GIS

from arcgis.gis import GIS
ImportError: No module named gis

I am getting the following error when trying to run my python script. I currently have the ArcGIS for Python API installed from ArcGIS Pro 2.0. This was installed for all users on my machine. I am trying to run my script below in the Python IDLE 2.7.12. I'm not sure why the module will not load. I have seen other posts about rearranging folders and possibly having to run this as administrator if the Python API was installed for all users on a specific machine. I'm running the script from the network and not my local drive. Any ideas???

you have to use the python version installed in the anaconda distribution for pro ( see an example here using Spyder )

you might also want to format your code to rule out other errors
