Import Error: No module named requests

Question

I know there are many posts on this, and I've tried using the solutions provided, but to no avail. I tried pip install requests and pip install requests --upgrade:

pip install requests --upgrade
You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 7.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Requirement already up-to-date: requests in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I then tried running pip install --upgrade pip, yet when I run my file I still get

Import Error: No module named requests

I am able to use requests in PyCharm, so I don't know what's causing this. Can someone please help?

There is indeed no module named `reqeusts`; you transposed the `u` and `e` (well spotted Baart). — Martijn Pieters, Sep 29 '15 at 08:35
Sounds like you are running a different Python binary. What does `import sys; sys.executable` tell you you are using? — Martijn Pieters, Sep 29 '15 at 08:40
@MartijnPieters If I run that from PyCharm's concole, I get `/Users/AlanH/anaconda/bin/python` — TheRealFakeNews, Sep 29 '15 at 08:44
@AlanH: that's not the same Python executable as the Mac OS X executable (which lives in /usr/bin/python and uses `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages`). You'll need to install `requests` into your Anaconda Python, or switch PyCharm to use the system Python. — Martijn Pieters, Sep 29 '15 at 08:45

Out of curiosity, you don't have any virtualenv activated or messed up — Palmer, Sep 29 '15 at 08:51

You installed requests into a different Python installation. The /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages is the site-packages directory for the Mac OS X /usr/bin/python installation.

PyCharm is not currently configured to use that Python installation; check what Python is being used either by looking at your PyCharm settings, or by asking Python directly with:

import sys
print(sys.executable)

Note that PyCharm can handle package installations for you as well; rather than use the command line pip consider using PyCharm, as it'll use the currently configured Python installation in that case.

Hi, welcome to Stack Overflow. When answering an exceedingly old question that already has an answer, please be sure to add some additional insight into why the response you're providing is substantive and not simply echoing what's already been vetted by the original poster. – chb Feb 24 '19 at 06:29

If you are having this issue in Pycharm and you have configured your Pycharm to create projects in virtual environments, then you can use the Terminal in Pycharm to run the

pip3 install requests

to resolve this issue. This is by design to ensure you control dependencies.
