I tried importing requests:
import requests
But I get an error:
ImportError: No module named requests
Requests is not a built in module (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install it:
OSX/Linux
Python 2: sudo pip install requests
Python 3: sudo pip3 install requests
if you have pip installed (pip is the package installer for python and should come by default with your python installation).
If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests (or python3 -m pip install requests for python3)
Alternatively you can also use sudo easy_install -U requests if you have easy_install installed.
Linux
Alternatively you can use your systems package manager:
For centos: sudo yum install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python2: sudo apt-get install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python3: sudo apt-get install python3-requests
Windows
Use pip install requests (or pip3 install requests for python3) if you have pip installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests (or python3 -m pip install requests for python3)
Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests, where Path is your Python*\Scripts folder, if it was installed. (For example: C:\Python32\Scripts)
If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, uncompress it, and then place it into the Lib\site-packages folder of your python path. (For example: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages)
From Source (Universal)
For any missing library, the source is usually available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/. You can download requests here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
On mac osx and windows, after downloading the source zip, uncompress it and from the termiminal/cmd run python setup.py install from the uncompressed dir.

It's not obvious to me which version of Python you are using.
If it's Python 3, a solution would be sudo pip3 install requests
To install requests module on Debian/Ubuntu for Python2:
$ sudo apt-get install python-requests
And for Python3 the command is:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-requests
Brew users can use reference below,
command to install requests:
python3 -m pip install requests
Homebrew and Python
pip is the package installer for Python and you need the package requests.
This may be a liittle bit too late but this command can be run even when pip path is not set. I am using Python 3.7 running on Windows 10 and this is the command
py -m pip install requests
and you can also replace 'requests' with any other uninstalled library
If you are using Ubuntu, there is need to install requests
run this command:
pip install requests
if you face permission denied error, use sudo before command:
sudo pip install requests
In my case requests was already installed, but needed an upgrade. The following command did the trick
$ sudo pip install requests --upgrade
On OSX, the command will depend on the flavour of python installation you have.
Python 2.x - Default
sudo pip install requests
Python 3.x
sudo pip3 install requests
On Windows Open Command Line
pip3 install requests
I had the same issue, so I copied the folder named "requests" from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests#downloadsrequests download to
"/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages".
Now when you use: import requests, it should work fine.
In the terminal/command-line:
pip install requests
then use it inside your Python script by:
import requests
or else if you want to use pycharm IDE to install a package:
go to setting from File in menu
next go to Python interpreter
click on pip
search for requests package and install it
Adding Third-party Packages to the Application
Follow this link
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27?hl=en#vendoring
step1 : Have a file by named a file named appengine_config.py in the root of your project, then add these lines:
from google.appengine.ext import vendor
Add any libraries installed in the "lib" folder.
vendor.add('lib')
Step 2: create a directory and name it "lib" under root directory of project.
step 3: use pip install -t lib requests
step 4 : deploy to app engine.
Try sudo apt-get install python-requests.
This worked for me.
If you are using anaconda as your python package manager, execute the following:
conda install -c anaconda requests
Installing requests through pip didn't help me.
The only thing that worked for me:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install requests
Facing the same issue but unable to fix it with the above solution, so I tried this way and it worked:-
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py
python -m pip install requests
For windows just give path as cd and path to the "Scripts" of python and then execute the command easy_install.exe requests.Then try import requests...
I have had this issue a couple times in the past few months. I haven't seen a good solution for fedora systems posted, so here's yet another solution. I'm using RHEL7, and I discovered the following:
If you have urllib3 installed via pip, and requests installed via yum you will have issues, even if you have the correct packages installed. The same will apply if you have urllib3 installed via yum, and requests installed via pip. Here's what I did to fix the issue:
sudo pip uninstall requests
sudo pip uninstall urllib3
sudo yum remove python-urllib3
sudo yum remove python-requests
(confirm that all those libraries have been removed)
sudo yum install python-urllib3
sudo yum install python-requests
Just be aware that this will only work for systems that are running Fedora, Redhat, or CentOS.

Python Common installation issues
These commands are also useful if Homebrew screws up your path on macOS.
python -m pip install requests
or
python3 -m pip install requests
Multiple versions of Python installed in parallel?
You must make sure your requests module is not being installed in a more recent version of python.
When using python 3.7, run your python file like:
python3 myfile.py
or enter python interactive mode with:
python3
Yes, this works for me. Run your file like this: python3 file.py
I have installed python2.7 and python3.6
Open Command Line to ~/.bash_profile I find that #Setting PATH for Python 3.6 , So
I change the path to PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.13/bin:${PATH}" ,
(please make sure your python2.7's path) ,then save.
It works for me.
if you want request import on windows:
pip install request
then beautifulsoup4 for:
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
Please try the following. If one doesn't work, skip to the next method.
pip install requests
or...
pip3 install requests
or...
python -m pip install requests
or...
python3 -m pip install requests
or...
python -m pip3 install requests
If all of these don't work, please leave a comment!
How does this work? Depending on the operating system you currently use, the pip command may vary or not work on some. These are the commands you may try in order for a fix.
In case you hit pip install requests and had an output massage of Requirement already satisfied but yet you still get the error: ImportError: No module named requests.
This is likely to happen when you find yourself in a different interpreter/virtual environment.
You can copy and append the path of the module into your working environment.
Note: This path usually comes with the message Requirement already satisfied
Before import requests, you should import sys and then append the copied path.
Example:
Command Prompt:
pip install requests
Output:
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages")
import requests
I solved this problem.You can try this method.
In this file '.bash_profile', Add codes like alias python=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
Type this command in Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/macOS):
pip install requests
My answer is basically the same as #pi-k. In my case my program worked locally but failed to build on QA servers. (I suspect devops had older versions of the package blocked and my version must have been too out-of-date) I just decided to upgrade everything
$ pip install pip-review
$ pip-review --local --interactive
You get an import error because requests are not a built-in module instead, it is created by someone else and you need to install the requests.
use the following command on your terminal then it will work correctly.
pip install requests
Install python requests library and this error will be solved.
I found that my issue was VSCode was reading from the wrong Python Interpreter. This youtube tutorial solved it for me.
If you are using anaconda
step 1:
where python
step 2:
open anaconda prompt in administrator mode
step 3:
cd <python path>
step 4:
install the package in this location

I am using kali linux and is trying to import a module called requests to run an exploit. (https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47138) if you want to know more about the exploit.
when i try to run the following command
sudo pip install requests
i kept getting this result
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (2.23.0)
this cant work at all as i requires the Requests module to be in python2.
How can i get it installed?
pip install <package> -t <directory>
-t specifies the target directory where you want your package to be installed
So in your case you can do pip install requests -t "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages" (This is where my site-packages folder is.)
You should use this command, it will ensure you are installing the module for python2:
python2 -m pip install --user --upgrade requests
You could use the following command:
sudo pip2.7 install requests
(Assuming that you have Python 2.7. If you have a different version, swap out the version number)
I want to install urllib2 and JSON but it doesn't seem to let me. I tried using pip install in cmd which didn't work and also tried specifying the Scripts path and then doing the command but that does not work either. I am on 64-bit and I have used some command in pip like pip install python3 (package name) which worked for me but I haven't install anything in some time so I don't remember what the command was exactly that worked for me.
Both of those should be apart of the standard library so there shouldn't be a need to reinstall using pip. Try reinstalling python3 (uninstall then reinstall) and check the "add to path" button at the bottom of the installer before installation.
You can also try pip3 install (package name) and also try to update it to the latest version using simocat's answer
Edit: I believe you don't need to install these packages they come as part of python 3.x
Have you tried using the command pip install (package name)?
You can also try to upgrade pip to the latest version with pip install --upgrade pip and then install a package.
EDIT:
Please note that The urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3 named urllib.request and urllib.error. There is no need to install urllib2. Just import urllib.request into your script
What does:
python -m ensurepip --upgrade
in cmd respond?
(It is always helpful to post the Error output you receive from your commandline) and on these kinds of topics in general you may check: https://stackexchange.com/
Btw. Here is a related q&a:
Installing pip on windows?
I'm running Python 3.5 (on Windows) and I have installed python-ldap from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap/
I also tried using ldap3 but I keep getting an error saying
"ImportError: No module named 'ldap'
I looked around and saw some people saying there's no python-ldap for 3.5 so I installed 2.6 still getting the same error.
Is there a way to import ldap and make it work for Python 3.5?
Try the command below:
sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev python-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev
sudo pip3 install pyldap
Open a command line(cmd, powershell, git bash)
Check you python version
$ pyhton --version
Go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Download the library according with your python version and windows system
And install it on a command line using
pip install file_downloaded.whl
For example:
If you have python 3.5x and windows x64,
download the file python_ldap‑3.2.0‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
pip install python_ldap‑3.2.0‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
I'm running Apache Airflow on an Amazon EC2-Instance and I was getting "ImportError: No module named 'ldap3'. I used these two sites https://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/installing.html and http://ldap3.readthedocs.io/installation.html to run the commands sudo python -m pip install python-ldap and sudo pip install ldap3 but my pip wasn't working for the last command so after some investigation I found out in my /usr/bin/ directory I had pip, pip-2.7, pip-3.6, and pip-python so I changed the command to pip-3.6 install ldap3 and then everything worked! Hope this helps someone.
I tried multiple approaches but finally, PyPI official documentation fixed this.
I was trying to execute on VS Code and did pip3 install python-ldap, but it didn't solve the issue. So I did the below from VS Code
# %% - This runs the below code as a Jupyter notebook cell
!pip3 install python-ldap
Now, I am able to import ldap and use it
Inside you folder, you can use virtualenv for python 3, example:
/opt/python-ldap-test
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.5 venv
source venv/bin/activate
and then
pip install ldap3
It's extremely complicated to make things from 2.X to work in 3.X. Have you tried using it in a separate, 2.X only script and using it from there? It's not so unusual to combine python 2.X with 3.X in that manner or so I've heard.
I have both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 installed. When I type pip install beautifulsoup4 it tells me that it is already installed in python2.7/site-package directory.
But how do I install it into the python3 dir?
I think pip3 will satisfy your needs, use the below command on the terminal:
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
See doc
Run as root:
apt-get install python3-bs4
#or
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
Afterwards import it like this:
import bs4
If you’re using a recent version of Debian or Ubuntu Linux, you can install Beautiful Soup with the system package manager:
$ apt-get install python-bs4 (for Python 2)
$ apt-get install python3-bs4 (for Python 3)
Afer install import the library
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
The package is bs4 and can be installed with following command:
python -m pip install bs4
I had some mismatch between Python version and Beautifulsoup. I was installing this project
Th3Jock3R/LinuxGSM-Arma3-Mod-Update
to a linux centos8 dedicated Arma3 server. Python3 and Beautifulsoup4 seem to match.So I updated Python3, removed manually Beautifulsoup files and re-installed it with: sudo yum install python3-beautifulsoup4 (note the number 3). Works. Then pointing directories in Th3Jock3R:s script A3_SERVER_FOLDER = "" and A3_SERVER_DIR = "/home/arma3server{}".format(A3_SERVER_FOLDER) placing and running the script in same folder /home/arma3server with python3 update.py. In this folder is also located new folder called 'modlists' Now the lightness of mod loading blows my mind. -Bob-
If you are on windows, this works for Python3 as well
py -m pip install bs4
So that I am able to work with it within my python scripts?
If necessary, install pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Then install boto:
pip install -U boto
Installing Boto depends on the Operating system.
For e.g in Ubuntu you can use the aptitude command:
sudo apt-get install python-boto
Or you can download the boto code from their site and move into the unzipped directory to run
python setup.py install
$ easy_install boto
Edit: pip is now by far the preferred way to install packages
switch to the boto-* directory and type python setup.py install.
install pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
insatll boto: https://github.com/boto/boto
$ git clone git://github.com/boto/boto.git
$ cd boto
$ python setup.py install
Best way to install boto in my opinion is to use:
pip install boto-1.6
This ensures you'll have the boto glacier code.
If you already have boto installed in one python version and then install a higher python version, boto is not found by the new version of python.
For example, I had python2.7 and then installed python3.5 (keeping both). My script under python3.5 could not find boto. Doing "pip install boto" told me that boto was already installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
So I did
pip install --target /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages boto
This allowed my script under python3.5 to find boto.
While trying out the
pip install boto
command, I encounter the error
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
To resolve this, issue another command to handle the setuptools using curl
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py | python
After doing that, the following command will work perfectly.
pip install boto
If you're on a mac, by far the simplest way to install is to use easy_install
sudo easy_install boto3
