Can't deploy to Scrapy cloud, problem with importing even common modules

Question

I am attempting to deploy a spider to Scrapy cloud, but I am repeatedly running into requirements problems, even importing commonly used modules such as io, re, shlex and PyPDF2. I am using Python 3.5. My scrapinghub.yml file contains these lines:

projects:
    default: 358310
stacks:
    default: scrapy:1.3-py3
requirements:
    file: requirements.txt

My requirements.txt file contains these lines:

io
re
shlex
PyPDF2==1.26.0

This is the error I got:

Where am I going wrong? BTW, I have the latest version of pip installed (contrary to what the error message states).

Answer 1

io, re, shlex are internal libraries, not packages, as I know. They should not be in requirements file.
