Unable to Import the requests module (Python)

Question

I was trying out Python for the first time today and I ran into a problem. I want to import requests, but it shows an error in the code:

Error: Import "requests" could not be resolved from source Pylance(reportMissingModelSource) [4, 8]

I am using Visual Studio Code.

I've tried pip install requests and it looks good, but I'm still getting an error in my code.

When I do pip install requests:

Relevant Python code:

import random

import requests

Answer 1

First of all, uninstall request by the following command:

pip uninstall requests

Then you have to install it again by the following command:

pip install requests

Now you have to import requests in the following way:

import requests
