Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError No module named 'requests'

Question

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'requests'.

But requests are in: C:\Users\piotr\Environments\bitcoin_notifications\Lib\site-packages\requests

I typed pip install requests to install them in my venv.

(bitcoin_notifications) PS C:\Users\piotr> pip install requests

I imported requests: import requests

And:

Your requests seem to be in a `virtualenv` but the error seems to indicate you're trying to `import requests` in the system python. Did you activate the `virtualenv` before trying to `import requests` — rdas, Apr 18 '19 at 10:48
Can you show us the command that generated these errors? There are so many possibilities... — Heath Raftery, Apr 18 '19 at 10:51
```PS C:\Users\piotr> Environments\bitcoin_notifications\Scripts\activate (bitcoin_notifications) PS C:\Users\piotr>``` — , Apr 18 '19 at 11:10
When I debug it again, Python Console is opening as 2nd terminal and: ```ppcd : The term 'ppcd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.``` — , Apr 18 '19 at 11:16

As commented before, you didn't activate your venv before pip install command.

Run: venv\Scripts\activate

from the directory where your virtual environment is located.

Then run pip install requests

```PS C:\Users\piotr> Environments\bitcoin_notifications\Scripts\activate ``` – Apr 18 '19 at 11:26
I ran it and I have activated venv: ```(bitcoin_notifications) PS C:\Users\piotr>``` – Apr 18 '19 at 11:29
I typed ```pip install requests``` and Powershell told me that ```Requirement already satisfied: requests in c:\users\piotr\environments\bitcoin_notifications\lib\site-packages``` – Apr 18 '19 at 11:31
This error still occurs... ```Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError No module named 'requests'.``` – Apr 18 '19 at 11:41
Can you just post your command and the output? Every detail counts. It's more effective than just tellung us what you did – RogerB Apr 18 '19 at 12:57
I fixed problem. Thx for all answers. :-) – Apr 18 '19 at 15:34

Like others have said, it seems you didn't activate the virtual environment correctly.

BUT: since you're using PowerShell, you need to "dot source" the file, not run the script.

See your previous post for the solution: POWERSHELL VENV The module 'bitcoin_notifications' could not be loaded
