ModuleNotFoundError: No Module Named

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Quick Answer

The module is not installed in your current Python environment. Install it with pip install <module_name>, and make sure you are using the correct virtual environment.

Why This Happens

Python can only import modules installed in the active environment. If you have multiple Python installations or virtual environments, a package installed in one may not be available in another.

The Problem

import requests
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com')

The Fix

# First install: pip install requests
import requests
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com')

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. 1

    Install the package

    Run pip install <package_name> in your terminal.

  2. 2

    Check the environment

    Verify you are in the correct virtual environment: which python.

  3. 3

    Check for typos

    Some packages have different import names. E.g., pip install Pillow but import PIL.
