after doing some searching for this problem, it seems likely to pop up when you have either another script named `requests.py` sitting in your current directory or in your Python path. — n1c9, Apr 09 '16 at 20:40

You have another file with this name "requests". You need change it and try again.

Also, you can try to use pip for reinstall requests:

pip install requests -U

No i don't have one, i cross check all the files in my dir – Edward Alex Apr 09 '16 at 21:19
my previous python programs work very fine with requests.get but now all those program give me error AttributeError: module 'requests' has no attribute 'get' – Edward Alex Apr 09 '16 at 21:24
@EdwardAlex, this problem has two variants: 1) you have another script with this name. 2) you have bad standart library request. Try find another script or use **pip install requests -U** – JRazor Apr 09 '16 at 21:30
thanx bro,i uninstall and reinstall requests so now its working – Edward Alex Apr 11 '16 at 21:50
no still the same error – Awesome_girl Jan 15 '19 at 01:24
I am having the same issue. No other "requests" file on my system. If I uninstall requests and reinstall it, I can import requests one time at the Python3.7 prompt, but then it will error if I exit and try again. One thing I do notice is that a __pycache__ file is created. – Calab Oct 10 '19 at 22:09

@Calab Probably, u have another file with same name (like requests.py). Check out – JRazor Oct 12 '19 at 06:00
You were right... it was "http.py" that got me. – Calab Oct 13 '19 at 20:04
