PyPy: ImportError: No module named requests

Question

Whenever I run

pypy test.py 

in the Mac OS X 10 Terminal, I get a

File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

However, this works well and without any errors when I do

python test.py

and when I open up pip (and also pip3), it shows me that Requests2.9.1 was installed.

What could be a possibly causing the problem? I am happy about really any ideas or suggestions! Thank you very much in advance

Like others alluded to, PyPy needs its own install of Pip.

Check if your PyPy install directory contains a pip executable in the /bin directory. If not, download get-pip and run it using PyPy. Then, you run this version of Pip and install requests. Then you're good to go!
