Whenever I try to import requests
, I get an error saying No module named requests
.
import requests
The error I get:
File "ex2.py", line 1, in <module> import requests ImportError: No module named requests
Requests are not a built-in module (it doesn't come with the default python installation) in Python, you need to install it explicitly using the pip installer and then use it. If you are getting an error installing pip checkout pip: command not found to resolve the issue.
Requests is one of the most popular Python libraries that is not included with Python.
Requests is not a built in module (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install it:
Use $ pip install requests
(or pip3 install requests
for python3) if you have pip
installed. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests
(or python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively you can also use sudo easy_install -U requests
if you have easy_install
installed.
Alternatively you can use your systems package manager:
For centos: yum install python-requests
For Ubuntu: apt-get install python-requests
Use pip install requests
(or pip3 install requests
for python3) if you have pip
installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests
(or python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests
, where Path
is your Python*\Scripts
folder, if it was installed. (For example: C:\Python32\Scripts
)
If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, uncompress it, and then place it into the Lib\site-packages
folder of your python path. (For example: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
)
For any missing library, the source is usually available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/. You can download requests here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
On mac osx and windows, after downloading the source zip, uncompress it and from the termiminal/cmd run python setup.py install
from the uncompressed dir.

It's not obvious to me which version of Python you are using.
If it's Python 3, a solution would be sudo pip3 install requests
