How to install requests module in Python 3 4 instead of 2 7

Question

I have both Python 2 7 and 3 4 installed on my Ubuntu 14 04 machine   I want to install the  requests  module so it is accessible from Py3 4   When I issued pip install requests on my terminal cmd line I got back       Requirement already satisfied  use --upgrade to upgrade   requests in  usr lib python2 7 dist-packages    How can I direct pip to install requests for 3 4 even though it is already in 2 7

Just answering this old thread can be installed without pip On windows or Linux:

1) Download Requests from https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests click on clone or download button

2) Unzip the files in your python directory .Exp your python is installed in C:Python\Python.exe then unzip there

3) Depending on the Os run the following command:

Windows use command cd to your python directory location then setup.py install
Linux command: python setup.py install

Thats it :)

while installing python packages in a global environment is doable  it is a best practice to isolate the environment between projects  creating virtual environments   Otherwise  confusion between Python versions will arise  just like your problem  The simplest method is to use venv library in the project directory  python3 -m venv venv  Where the first venv is to call the venv package  and the second venv defines the virtual environment directory name  Then activate the virtual environment  source venv bin activate  Once the virtual environment has been activated  your pip install     commands would not be interfered with any other Python version or pip version anymore  For installing requests  pip install requests  Another benefit of the virtual environment is to have a concise list of libraries needed for that specific project   note  commands only work on Linux and Mac OS

You can specify a Python version for pip to use   pip3 4 install requests   Python 3 4 has pip support built-in  so you can also use   python3 4 -m pip install   If you re running Ubuntu  or probably Debian as well   you ll need to install the system pip3 separately   sudo apt-get install python3-pip   This will install the pip3 executable  so you can use it  as well as the earlier mentioned python3 4 -m pip   pip3 install requests

i was facing same issue in beautiful soup   I solved this issue by this command   your issue will also get rectified    You are unable to install requests in python 3 4 because your python libraries are not updated    use this command  apt-get install python3-requests Just run it will ask you to add 222 MB space in your hard disk   just press Y and wait for completing process  after ending up whole process   check your problem will be resolved
