PyPy: ImportError: No module named requests

Question

Whenever I run

pypy test.py

in the Mac OS X 10 Terminal, I get a

File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

However, this works well and without any errors when I do

python test.py

and when I open up pip (and also pip3), it shows me that Requests2.9.1 was installed.

What could be a possibly causing the problem? I am happy about really any ideas or suggestions! Thank you very much in advance

You will also need to install that module for pypy, see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/q/8510615/3001761. It's a completely different interpreter, it doesn't share modules with `python`. — jonrsharpe, Feb 27 '16 at 10:18
@jonrsharpe This solve my problem. You should include this as an answer maybe, because I couldn't find the solution after hours of searching for a solution — DaveTheAl, Feb 27 '16 at 17:36

Like others alluded to, PyPy needs its own install of Pip.

Check if your PyPy install directory contains a pip executable in the /bin directory. If not, download get-pip and run it using PyPy. Then, you run this version of Pip and install requests. Then you're good to go!
