'Module object has no attribute 'get'

问题:

i just installed the Requests module by using 'easy_insatll' and i tried to run the demo code of this tutrorial,

import requests
payload = {'username': 'xxxx', 'password': 'xxxxx'}
r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')

but i get this error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get'

any idea? thanks

You are importing all names from the requests module into your local namespace, which means you do not need to prefix them anymore with the module name:

>>> from requests import *
>>> get
<function get at 0x107820b18>

If you were to import the module with an import requests statement instead, you added the module itself to your namespace and you do have to use the full name:

>>> import requests
>>> requests.get
<function get at 0x102e46b18>

Note that the above examples is what I got from my tests in the interpreter. If you get different results, you are importing the wrong module; check if you have an extra requests.py file in your python package:

>>> import requests
>>> print requests.__file__
/private/tmp/requeststest/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.pyc

You can also test for the name listing provided by the requests module:

>>> print dir(requests)
['ConnectionError', 'HTTPError', 'Request', 'RequestException', 'Response', 'Session', 'Timeout', 'TooManyRedirects', 'URLRequired', '__author__', '__build__', '__builtins__', '__copyright__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__license__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__title__', '__version__', '_oauth', 'api', 'auth', 'certs', 'codes', 'compat', 'cookies', 'defaults', 'delete', 'exceptions', 'get', 'head', 'hooks', 'models', 'options', 'packages', 'patch', 'post', 'put', 'request', 'safe_mode', 'session', 'sessions', 'status_codes', 'structures', 'utils']

This is the typical symptom of an unrelated requests.py (or requests.pyc) file sitting in your current directory, or somewhere else on the PYTHONPATH. If this is the case, remove or rename it, as it's shadowing the module you really want to import.

回答3:

You have to variants of how to fix this.

import requests

or

r = get('https://github.com/timeline.json')

P.S. First one is preferable

回答4:

As already stated, the most common problem is that you have a requests.py file somewhere in your PYTHONPATH.

But as the requests module internally uses other modules (e.g. from the standard python library), there might be problems with other filenames as well. For example I had the same problem when I named a script http.py. In that case the output of print dir(requests) is correct which makes tracking down the error a bit more difficult...

回答5:

I made a mistake of the test file's name was requests.py. So, when i import requests.py, it's not what I want to import. Then, I renamed the test file's name. It works!!!

回答6:

I had the same error.

All I did was save it as requests.py

Then I saved it as some other name. And problem solved.

回答7:

This could be an user error if you're working with a framework like Django that has request objects as well.

I constantly get confused by Django's:

request.POST

and request's:

request.post

That was my problem, anyway. Bracing for down votes.

I happened the same issue on Mac and Ubuntu. I want to test the requests command. I used the requests/ folder name and the requests.py filename on Mac. But Python shows the "ImportError: cannot import name get" message. Therefore, I have renamed the requests/ folder and the requests.py file to test-requests/ and test-requests.py. It still got the message. I checked the folder as below:

__pycache__     requests.pyc        test-1.py       test-requests.py

I saw that the folder has the requests.pyc file. So I deleted the requests.pyc file in the folder. Then, I executed the below test script. it's working now.

$ python test-requests.py 
200

#! /usr/bin/env python
# the content of test-requests.py
import requests
from requests import get
r = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/get')
print (r.status_code)
