Can not solve ImportError: No module named request

I have read this question.

  1. I installed pip and I executed

    pip install requests

    and got

    Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-2.9.1-py2.7.egg
Cleaning up...

  2. I started my Python 2 shell:

    >>> from urllib.request import urlopen
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named request

Why am I still catching this exception? What I am doing wrong?

  • urllib.requests module is available in Python 3.x. In Python 2.x, it's urllib module
  • You installed the third-party library requests, but you are trying to import a standard module.

Just you import requests.

You are confusing the 3rd party module named requests with the Python 3's built-in urllib.request. You can use

import requests

both with Python 2 and 3. However, you can use

from urllib.request import urlopen

only with Python 3.

What worked for me was to install python-pip with this command:

sudo apt install python-pip

then I update it with this command

pip install --upgrade pip
