Can't import requests in Django-CodePudding

I'm having problem importing requests in views.py. I've already installed requests in the environment and I already checked through Django shell by importing requests and there was no error. But every time I import requests in views.py I get the error ModuleNotFoundError. Can anyone help me.

from django.shortcuts import render
#from django.http import HttpResponse
import json 
import requests
#from matplotlib.style import context


# Create your views here.
# Think of views as a place to handle your various 
# web pages we are going to do this with either 
# functions based view or class basesd view

def home_view(request, *args, **kwargs): 
    print (args, kwargs)
    print ("This is the request")
    print ("Request has been Sent")

    putdata = {"supplier_name": "Django", "supplier_contact": "8000", "supplier_address": "America", "supplier_email": "[email protected]", "supplier_state": "New York", "supplier_country": "America"}
    post = requests.post("http://localhost:8085/api/supplier", json=putdata)
    print(post.text)
    return HttpResponse("<h1>Hello World</h1>") # string of HTML code
    return render(request, "home.html", {})

Error Message:

File 
from products.views import test_view
  File "C:\Users\Fakhr\Desktop\trydjango\products\views.py", line 2, in 
<module>
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

I'm new to Django so forgive the messy code, I'm just trying various things in order to see how they work.

You probably haven't installed the required package. Try this in your terminal:

pip install requests

CodePudding user response：

check whether you are running the script in the installed environment.

Try writing this in the list of apps installed in the project's settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    # Add this...
    'requests',
]

I found the answer from Django Tutorial in Visual Studio Code official Docs. Turns out instead of pip install requests. I need to do python -m pip install requests.
