Question

Hi im pretty new to python and im following some tutorials online. im using the latest version of python 3.6 when i try and import requests or bs4 is says

ModuleNotFoundError, No module named 'requests'

although it is installed i can see it in site packages i used pip to install whatever i seem to do it doesnt seem to be able to find it

here is the code

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import operator


def start(url):
    word_list = []
    source_code = requests.get(url).text
    soup = BeautifulSoup(source_code)
    for post_text in soup.findAll('div'):
        content = post_text.string
        words = content.lower().split()
        for each_word in words:
            print(each_word)
            word_list.append(each_word)

start('http://localhost/budget_app/dashboard.php')
