Using PyGithub basic script complains "No module named 'requests'"

Question

I am using PyGithub from https://github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub to try out the github API to collect data from my code repository.

I did the following to try install all that is needed.

sudo pip3 install PyGithub
sudo pip3 install requests
sudo pip3 install pipenv
pipenv run pip3 install requests

I am trying to run the following sample script:

import requests
import json
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/repos/django/django')
if(r.ok):
    repoItem = json.loads(r.text or r.content)
    print "Django repository created: " + repoItem['created_at']

But I keep getting the following error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

What am I missing?

I am launching python. The command is `python the_script.py`. But, `python -V` on my machine outputs `Python 3.6.2` — AdeleGoldberg, Oct 18 '19 at 10:25
Try it using "python3 the_script.py" or 'sudo pip install requests' , also you can try one a python terminal and importing it. — fiticida, Oct 18 '19 at 10:27
Trying it on a python terminal also complains the same : `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'` — AdeleGoldberg, Oct 18 '19 at 10:28
The problem I think is that you are using sudo for installing "pip3 install requests", try it without it. — fiticida, Oct 18 '19 at 10:34
