Any idea why these errors appear?

something funky going on.
You shouldn't have any problem importing requests unless something trashed memory.
try opening an interactive python and simply importing requests

[Truman]

Do you mean in IDLE? It doesn't give anything.

[Larz60+]

I didn't mean idle, I meant to start python from command line or bash shell by typing python, but IDLE will do.
So if you don't get any message from 'IDLE' then something else is causing requests to fail on import in your new program.
If you're using an IDE, I'd exit from the IDE, reboot the OS and try again.
If it works first time after that, I would suspect that something in your code (or some other code) is tromping on memory.
Unfortunately this type of 'bug' is very hard to find as it could have been caused by something else you ran an hour ago, and only surfaced an hour later.

Find a file you have called email.py and rename to eg my_email.py.
Then try Requests again.

Thank you snippsat, good eye, now everything works fine.
