Python 3.7 ModuleNotFound

Question

I'm using MSYS2 but without pip (SSL error), and when I try to run

python vin.py

It throws me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vin.py", line 1, in <module>
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

What can I do? Thanks in advance

The `requests` module is not part of the Python standard library. Have you installed it on your system? — Blckknght, Mar 08 '19 at 20:48
I have installed `mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-requests` and it still throws an error unfortunately. — shdw, Mar 08 '19 at 21:00

I think it is because you installed the requests module for Python 3 while you are running Python 2.

To specifically install the package for Python 2, try entering this command:

pip2 install requests

or


python -m pip install requests

If you want to run the script with Python 3 instead, simply change python to python3, so:

python3 vin.py

Or maybe run Python 3, to get the Python 3 module that's been installed? – Blckknght Mar 09 '19 at 01:33
@Blckknght You may be right. I've updated my answer according to your suggestion. – VietHTran Mar 09 '19 at 01:55

It is better to use a virtualenv:

First create a virtualenv for your project and activate it:

python -m venv my_project
source my_project/bin/activate

Then install Requests:

pip install requests

To test: run python and import requests

>>> import requests
