ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'. Even though requests has already been installed

Question

I have installed using: pip install requests yet I continue to get the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named requests

I uninstalled and reinstalled it yet it is still not fixed. Does anyone know the best way to fix this?

I am using python 2.7

Answer 1

ok so I found the solution. I needed to get the source code: I did this by cloning the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/psf/requests.git

https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install/

I hope this is useful to others.
