pip setup and setting PYTHONPATH

Question

I'm not experienced in Python, and I need the requests module.

I've tried installing it using pip install requests

The installation went successfully, but when I try to import the module, I get an error like "no module named requests".

Should I add the install location to PYTHONPATH? If yes, how can I find the location where pip installed the files? I don't know about virtualenv, and I am using Ubuntu.

How do you install pip?, which is his location?`pip --version` — cyraxjoe, Jul 21 '11 at 23:08
sudo apt-get install python-pip , version -> pip 0.8.2 from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 (python 2.7) [But I am using python3.1 console!!] — shajin, Jul 21 '11 at 23:11

You should install pip for python3 first How to install pip with Python 3? then with the pip-3.X install the required module.

And just like eryksun comment, you cannot use `request` in python 3 yet. – cyraxjoe Jul 21 '11 at 23:28
