WSAStartup error with requests - yllawwally - Jan-28-2021
I installed the requests library yesterday. However whenever I import it, I get a WSAStartup failed: error code 10107. I am running python Python 3.8.6 (tags/v3.8.6:db45529, Sep 23 2020, 15:52:53) [MSC v.1927 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32, on Windows 10.
I could find very little on google about this error. I did try netsh winsock reset, and rebooted my pc. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

For anyone else who might see this error. I found the issue. I needed to disable my firewall.
