Receiving a 'ImportError: No module named requests' error in Python

Question

When I run import requests I receive an error: ImportError: No module named requests . I have looked at other responses to similar questions and tried nearly everything and nothing is working. I'm using MacOS and my project is on my desktop in a folder with a single file with the one line of code I wrote above. When I run pip3 list, the request package is installed.

Answer 1

I understand you, python can be a mess. Macos has a default installation of python version 2.XX when you type 'python' in terminal it executes the preinstalled python v2

Now since you are using pip3 I assume you've installed latest python 3.XX and pip3 will install modules for python 3 only not for the default python 2

So when you are running your script.py, insted of python script.py try python3 script.py
