Python Forum

I have a very simple script that saves me a lot of time scraping a few URLs on occasion. I ran the code just fine 2 weeks ago, and now when I go to run it, I get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "addevents.py", line 11, in <module>
    import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

so, just for fun I ran

pip3.7 install requests

and I get the output

Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (2.22.0)
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,<1.26,>=1.21.1 in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from requests) (1.25.7)

Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from requests) (2019.9.11)

and sure enough when I run

help("modules")

I don't see "requests" anywhere. No clue what to do here. And I'm about to go insane. Please send help.

Python version 3.7.3
pip version 19.3.1
macOS 10.15.2

First ideas what come to mind: do you use virtual environments and are you actually defaulting to using Python 3.7 (and not some other version).
