Answer 1

This is because your pip3 is not in the python3.6 PYTHONPATH. I always think the best way to install Python packages using pip is with to run it as a script using the -m option.

python3.6 -m pip install aiohttp

Answer 2

I had this issue even on Pycharm. After figuring out which interpreter I use I had to explicitly install aiohttp with pip with the python binary under venv/bin.

I had a similar issue with Pycharm when running python for virtual environment from command line. I had to exit the shell, make sure that PyCharm does not activate the virtual environment (deactivate), active it by hand and then run python. – Engagement
