Usual caveat: The tutor list is targeted at the standard library

Though arguably the OP's problem is an import issue, not really module specific.

That having been said, I'll take a guess...
$ mkdir Illustris-3
$ mkdir Illustris-3/groups_135
Are these folders in your PYTHONPATH? If not Python will not find them.

import illustris_python as il

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

The OP cded into the new dir; I'd normally expect things to be found if the module was a local file/dir. However...

For some reason the computer is not recognizing this as a file on my
computer. The CCA folks says this is a coding problem and not an illustris
problem. any ideas to get me past this? I may also need help getting
farther into the download process.

I just ran the OP's download command:

 wget -nd -nc -nv -e robots=off -l 1 -r -A hdf5 --content-disposition --header="API-Key: 
d522db2e1b33e36d3b365cc9ac1c2c5d" 
"http://www.illustris-project.org/api/Illustris-3/files/groupcat-135/?format=api";

This doesn't seem to download any Python code at all. It does get a couple of HDF files, presumably with data to work with.

So the issue is initially that the module isn't present anywhere. Looking at the instructions cited <http://www.illustris-project.org/data/docs/scripts/>, they only cover fetching som data and working; they presume the software is already present. I don't immediately see actual software installation instructions, and it is not presented in PyPI.

Most like the OP will have to install the software directly from:

 https://bitbucket.org/illustris/illustris_python

This command:

 hg clone https://bitbucket.org/illustris/stris_pythonillustris_python

should produce an "illustris_python" in the current directory, and then her import command will find it.

However, there are other prerequisites. This pip command:

 pip install h5py numpy

seems to resolve them. The OP will need to use Python 2 because the module seems to rely on a relative import (for its "util.py" file).
