Error when "import requests" - "No module named requests"

N00b Altert.

So I tried to call "import requests" through Python and got the error: 

>>> import requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named requests

I do not think I have pip installed correctly or at all?

easy_install requests returns: The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-6488.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated... I have seen the other posts with users mentioning the same but it doesn't seem to help.

Type 

import requests

Guide your cursor to the command (Donot press space) You will see a red bulb.There will be an option to install requests. Click it and done. This worked for me on Pycharm. Installing it through pip didnot help me.

According to the requests website installation page:

  1. Checkout the git repository
  2. execute /path/to/virtualenv/bin/python requests/setup.py install

As a third step, if you have problems doing this, please come back and leave a comment, such that I may help you further.

Your problem is a permissions problem. The solution I'd recommend is to pip install virtualenv and create a new environment for your project, installing requests in that environment.

To install pip, do a curl -kO https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and run it as python get-pip.py then install virtualenv as in the above paragraph.
