Bot does not start "No module named requests"

[mike4001]

Hi, I am running your bot for several months now.

I just updated (via git pull).

When I now try to start the bot I get the error message

pi@retropie:~/poloniexlendingbot $ python lendingbot.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lendingbot.py", line 17, in
from modules.ExchangeApiFactory import ExchangeApiFactory
File "/home/pi/poloniexlendingbot/modules/ExchangeApiFactory.py", line 6, in
from modules.Bitfinex import Bitfinex
File "/home/pi/poloniexlendingbot/modules/Bitfinex.py", line 6, in
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests`

Can you help me?

[mike4001]

OK, solved it ...

You should add that you have to install pip via

sudo apt-get install python-pip

wasn't installed by default on my system

Hello, I have the same problem and installing the PIP did not work.

I upgraded BOT today and installed PIP with the command: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

What did I do wrong?

Thanks.

What was the result from the pip install?

These requirements should not be in Python2?

[utdrmac]

Got similar?

It looks like some files are more up to date than your files ...

[utdrmac]

Your paste does not show the same attempts as me. Did you try the two import commands?

[lexrms]

What import commands?

[lexrms]

Here:

import requests

I tried to import with Python3 and worked:

Python 3.5.2+ (default, Sep 22 2016, 12:18:14)
[GCC 6.2.0 20160927] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import hypothesis
import numpy
import pandas
import pytz
import requests

Now with Python2

[GCC 6.2.0 20160914] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named hypothesis

import pandas
Traceback (most recent call last):

import pytz
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named pytz
import requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named requests

It seems that pip install is installing the versions for python3 and not for python2. How to force installation to python2?

[utdrmac]

No idea. You'll have to google that one.

# find /usr/lib/python2.7/ -name "requests*"
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-2.4.3.egg-info

[utdrmac]

I've got several versions of pip. Maybe you need to call a specific version?

# pip
pip     pip2    pip2.7  pip3    pip3.4

[utdrmac]

# which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
root@gasgiant:~#
root@gasgiant:~# cat /usr/local/bin/pip
#!/usr/bin/python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from pip import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

[lexrms]

Ok i found the solution.

My system is instaling the versions for python3.
Have to run pip directly from the python version to install the correct version to python2

sudo python -m pip install hypothesis
sudo python -m pip install pandas
sudo python -m pip install pytz
sudo python -m pip install requests

Thank you @utdrmac for your help!
