Python Requests module - Import Error No module named requests

Question

I'm trying to use the requests module, but I'm having trouble importing it. I'm running Python 3.4.2 (which I checked is officially supported) on Windows 7.

I've tried installing it the following ways, each time with no luck:

• Using pip install requests.
• Downloading the zip ball and installing using setup.py install
• Downloading the source code and manually copying the folder to Python34/Lib/site-packages.

In all those cases, I can see that the requests library is in the site-packages folder.

If I run import requests from the python interpreter, it works fine. This works:

$ python
>>> import requests
>>> requests.get("http://127.0.0.1")
<Response [200]>

It always results in this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import requests
ImportError: No module named requests   

Answer 1

Run with Python 3 from the command line:

python3 script.py

Hope this helps!!
