pydev import requests gives error unresolved import: requests

Question

I am new to python in pydev (eclipse). I am trying to import requests and get an error:

import requests

error:

unresolved import: requests

In terminal I tried:

pip install requests 

and it says

Requirement already satisfied

Also there is no error or warning when running brew doctor. What am I missing?

Answer 1

The issue was that the Python pointed by pydev was different from the default python in the terminal that installed requests module.

The fix was to go to preferences -> pydev -> pydev interpreter -> click on the python (wrong python path) and remove, and then click on new to add the right python installed by brew. To find the python path installed by brew type which python in the terminal).
