Import Requests Does not Work - DiceMann - Apr-15-2018

Hello all!

On Windows 10, running Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, after following exactly snippsat installation here:

https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Part-2-Python-environment-Windows?pid=18498#pid18498

I am unable to install the "Requests" module.

I can run PIP in windows, and can run python from the cmd line, but i cant

Whats crazy is that i CAN import modules like statistics.
Im looking for any help i can find with this.

C:\Users\MYNAME>pip install requests

The C prompt never re-appeared after installation.

I had to actually and completley exit out of dos prompt/CMD and re open it.

C:\Python36\Scripts>pip install lxml
Collecting lxml

Has this always been necessary with the requests module?

RE: Import Requests Does not Work - snippsat - Apr-15-2018

Look at part-1 and the test in cmd.
You see how Requests is installed and tester.

No Requests has always work alone,you most be sure that test of pip and python work in cmd as part-1.

So I have:

C:\>pip install requests
Requirement already satisfied: requests in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (2.18.4)
Requirement already satisfied: idna<2.7,>=2.5 in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (from requests) (2.6)
Requirement already satisfied: chardet<3.1.0,>=3.0.2 in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (from requests) (3.0.4)
Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (from requests) (2018.1.18)
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<1.23,>=1.21.1 in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (from requests) (1.22)

I thought I had all bases covered.

Also

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
C:\Python36\python.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I also heard you have to install "lmxl" but when i do it does this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install lxml
Collecting lxml

Problem is, it sits there and hangs for hours. Doesnt complete.

Thanks!

ps.

C:\>python -V
Python 3.6.5

I think with Windows you can't install lxml through pip

You need to download the whl file from the website and run it through CMD

What hangs when you install or run code?
Run cmd as Administrator
Your python and pip is correct from cmd.

With pip-9 and 3.6 there is no need to download the wheel file,pip install lxml work fine.

C:\>pip -V

RE: Import Requests Does not Work - DiceMann - Apr-17-2018

Update.

So i can install requests completely:

C:\>pip install requests
Requirement already satisfied: requests in c:\python\lib\site-packages (2.18.4)
Requirement already satisfied: chardet<3.1.0,>=3.0.2 in c:\python\lib\site-packages (from requests) (3.0.4)
Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in c:\python\lib\site-packages (from requests) (2018.4.16)
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<1.23,>=1.21.1 in c:\python\lib\site-packages (from requests) (1.22)
Requirement already satisfied: idna<2.7,>=2.5 in c:\python\lib\site-packages (from requests) (2.6)

So i think i resolved an issue there, but when i run requests for python im back to the main issue:

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

For lxml:

C:\>pip install lxml
Collecting lxml

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lxml'
>>>

>>> from lxml import html, etree
Traceback (most recent call last):

Really confused here.

Thanks

Why dos it say c:\python\lib\site-packages
In your previous post:

DiceMann Wrote:Requirement already satisfied: requests in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (2.18.4)

There it say c:\python36\lib\site-packages

Do you have two Python installation?
You have to figure this out,what python and pip version used anywhere from cmd is set in Environment Variables(Path)

RE: Import Requests Does not Work - DiceMann - Apr-18-2018

snippsat,

I really appreciate and am thankful for your help!!

So..i ended up uninstalling and re installing python again.
I just re ran the command to show that it was, in fact, installed.

Im not really sure if i have two python installations or not.
I thought i had thoroughly uninstalled python but i did notice that the uninstaller doesnt uninstall every thing.

C:\>python -V
Python 3.6.5

and

C:\>pip -V
pip 10.0.0 from c:\python\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.6)

I did not see the option for "Disable Path Length Limit" during the installation.

ADD PYTHON 3.6 TO PATH was selected during installation.

RE: Import Requests Does not Work - DiceMann - Apr-20-2018

The only other thing i can think of is a fresh install of windows.
Otherwise, none of this makes since.

RE: Import Requests Does not Work - wavic - Apr-20-2018

Upgrade pip to v. 10 and try again. There was some improvements for Windows.
