ImportError: No module named 'requests'

Question

Getting this error when trying to run a Python script. I have downloaded a requests-1.2.0 folder but I have no idea what to do with it. I\'ve tried running the setup.py file con

Answer 1

You need to run setup.py with the "install" argument. That will install requests in the site-packages folder where it can be imported globally.

Open a cmd window and navigate to the requests folder that you downloaded. Then type the following into the cmd window:

C:\python27\python.exe setup.py install

You'll need to change the path to the python executable to match that for your system, of course.
