How does my requests stopped working in python3? - python-3.x

I had this this python3 script running normally using requests.get. However if I switched to another directory other than the one I am working at this error pops up. I tried reinstall requests using pip3 and rename the file but neither worked for me.

Here,"/Users/pavel/Documents/Code/" is your working directory?
When importing something python searches the working directory first so, import threading from anywhere would try to import your threading.py which will make circular reference to requests. Right now requests module is also importing other modules so method get isn't yet defined. That's why the error.
Try renaming your script somthing else. You have to always be careful of the names like that, if you are going to use a module don't name your python script with the same name. Also be careful of other basic python modules.

importing requests seems to only work in shell

I've been testing some stuff with requests in python 3.7 shell and it works fine but as soon as I try and automate it by putting it into a file and running it, I get this error:

Here's my code:

jsonload = json.loads(data.text)
print(jsonload[0]["Bio"])
Here's both shells side by side
What you're trying to do, import requests, is very simple.
Let's back up and create a simple setup for running your script.
Create a brand new conda environment, or pip virtualenv if you prefer.
Use conda install requests to get one library (plus its transitive deps).
What we're going for is an environment that does not have the six compat lib present, that is, import six fails.
We want it to fail, since that library was causing you grief, as seen in your stack trace.
It renames modules you don't want renamed, including http.
Now, from shell or IDE, use the new environment to run your script.
Finally, since test is a standard module that ships with python, you're probably better off renaming your code to something else, perhaps test1.py.
Just figured out the problem. I had a file in the same directory called http which was causing all the problems. Thanks for all the help everyone :)

"No module named 'twilio.rest' ; twilio is not a package" [duplicate]

I have a script named requests.py that needs to use the third-party requests package. The script either can't import the package, or can't access its functionality.
Why isn't this working, and how do I fix it?
Trying a plain import and then using the functionality results in an AttributeError:
import requests
res = requests.get('http://www.google.ca')
print(res)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 1, in <module>
import requests
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 3, in <module>
requests.get('http://www.google.ca')
AttributeError: module 'requests' has no attribute 'get'
In more recent versions of Python, the error message instead reads AttributeError: partially initialized module 'requests' has no attribute 'get' (most likely due to a circular import).
Using from-import of a specific name results in an ImportError:
from requests import get
res = get('http://www.google.ca')
print(res)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "requests.py", line 1, in <module>
from requests import get
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 1, in <module>
from requests import get
ImportError: cannot import name 'get'
In more recent versions of Python, the error message instead reads ImportError: cannot import name 'get' from partially initialized module 'requests' (most likely due to a circular import) (/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py).
Using from-import for a module inside the package results in a different ImportError:
from requests.auth import AuthBase
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "requests.py", line 1, in <module>
from requests.auth import AuthBase
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 1, in <module>
from requests.auth import AuthBase
ImportError: No module named 'requests.auth'; 'requests' is not a package
Using a star-import and then using the functionality raises a NameError:
from requests import *
res = get('http://www.google.ca')
print(res)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "requests.py", line 1, in <module>
from requests import *
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 3, in <module>
res = get('http://www.google.ca')
NameError: name 'get' is not defined
This happens because your local module named requests.py shadows the installed requests module you are trying to use. The current directory is prepended to sys.path, so the local name takes precedence over the installed name.
An extra debugging tip when this comes up is to look at the Traceback carefully, and realize that the name of your script in question is matching the module you are trying to import:
Notice the name you used in your script:
File "/Users/me/dev/rough/requests.py", line 1, in <module>
The module you are trying to import: requests
Rename your module to something else to avoid the name collision.
Python may generate a requests.pyc file next to your requests.py file (in the __pycache__ directory in Python 3). Remove that as well after your rename, as the interpreter will still reference that file, re-producing the error. However, the pyc file in __pycache__ should not affect your code if the py file has been removed.
In the example, renaming the file to my_requests.py, removing requests.pyc, and running again successfully prints <Response [200]>.
The error occurs because a user-created script has a name-clash with a library filename. Note, however, that the problem can be caused indirectly. It might take a little detective work to figure out which file is causing the problem.
For example: suppose that you have a script mydecimal.py that includes import decimal, intending to use the standard library decimal library for accurate floating-point calculations with decimal numbers. That doesn't cause a problem, because there is no standard library mydecimal. However, it so happens that decimal imports numbers (another standard library module) for internal use, so a script called numbers.py in your project would cause the problem.

The traceback tells us all we need to know: calling help triggers a deferred import of the standard library pydoc, which indirectly attempts to import the standard library token, but finds our token.py which doesn't contain the appropriate name. In older versions of Python, it was even worse: tokenize would do a star-import from token, and then its top-level code would try to use a name defined there, resulting in NameError - and a stack trace not mentioning the file name token.py.
If you still encounter problems like this after tracking own and renaming or removing the appropriate .py files in your project, also check for .pyc files that Python uses to cache bytecode compilation when importing modules. In 3.x, these will be stored in folders with the special name __pycache__; it is safe to delete such folders and files, and possible to suppress them (but you normally won't want to).
