Python - ImportError: No module named 'requests'

Question

I get this error when running code, so it appears that requests hasn't installed properly. I am running Windows 7 32-bit system with Python 3.3.

When I go into 'Programs and Features' in windows it shows up as installed.

I installed this program from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and I have also downloaded the requests folder and tried installing it this way, I can't seem to get this to work.

I have visited ImportError: No module named 'requests' already, but I didn't find this helped at all.

I keep seeing the following statement, but I am uncertain of how to run this?

$ python setup.py install

Please help!?!

Answer 1

If you are using Ubuntu, there is need to install requests

run this command:

pip install requests

if you face permission denied error, use sudo before command:

sudo pip install requests

Answer 2

This line:

$ python setup.py install

It's a command line in a terminal in Linux or the alike. My guess is that you could do the same opening a terminal in Windows pressing the start key and typing 'cmd', without quotes of course. If you had python already install the %PATH% variable should be set up properly and it should just run. Well, perhaps you need to go to the same folder as the setup.py using

> cd path_to_file

And then,

> python setup.py install

I hope it helps. Let me know otherwise.

Answer 3

The answer there is clear. But let me explain to you as good as I can. This error comes because requests module is not installed in your system

Download the requests module to your system from here

And extract it. Go to your command prompt/terminal and reach to the folder you downloaded.There, you will see setup.py, the file that you need to execute to install the requests module.

python setup.py install 

Installs the requests module
