AttributeError: module 'requests' has no attribute 'post'. is it deprecated and new function has been introduced? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Importing installed package from script with the same name raises "AttributeError: module has no attribute" or an ImportError or NameError

Closed 3 years ago.
I've been trying to send requests to a local server built using flask.
requests are sent using requests module of python.
I don't know if that requests.post function has been deprecated and new one's introduced or is there anything really wrong with my code. I've done everything exactly as said in this article.
Here's my code:
import requests
host_url = "http://127.0.0.1:5000"
# get the data
data_for_prediction = [int(input()) for _ in range(10)]
r = requests.post(url=host_url,json={data_for_prediction})
print(r.json())
The error I'm getting for above code is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/--/requests.py", line 1, in <module>
import requests
File "C:\Users\--\requests.py", line 8, in <module>
r = requests.post(url=host_url,json={data_for_prediction})
AttributeError: module 'requests' has no attribute 'post'
Process finished with exit code 1
my server code is:
flask_server_app = Flask(__name__)
# let's make the server now
#flask_server_app.route("/api/predict", methods=["GET", "POST"])
# my prediction function goes here
def predict():
# Get the data from the POST request & reads the received json
json_data = request.get_json(force=True)
# making prediction
# Make prediction using model loaded from disk as per the data.
prediction = ml_model.predict([[json_data]])
# return json version of the prediction
return jsonify(prediction[0])
# run the app now
if __name__ == '__main__':
flask_server_app.run(port=5000, debug=True)
I've tried checking documentation, checked many articles online and also re-wrote the whole code. But, none helped.
So, is that requests.post function deprecated and a new one's been introduced or is there anything wrong with my code.

It seems like you are writing your code in a file called requests.py so when you try to import the requests module, it does import your own file as a module. Try renaming your file...

How to download photos from Flickr by Flickr API in Python 3

noob question series...
I am a new learner of python, recently want to create a small python application that can collect photos from flickr based on different search input. (eg: if i input "dog", it will download all dog images from flickr)
I did some research online and notice that flickr API might be the best way and the method flickr.photos.getSizes should be the one I need to use.
However, I have few stupid questions when coding:
I have applied my key and secret for flickr API, I just don't know what to do next with flickr.photos.getSizes in python to download photos. Like, how to call this method in python? (and I noticed required arguments for this method are keys and photo_id, how to get photo_ids based on search input "dog")
Then I followed a tutorial from https://github.com/alexis-mignon/python-flickr-api/wiki/Tutorial but when I imported flickr_api I got error message:
Could not load all modules
<class 'ImportError'> No module named 'objects'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/Agfa/Projects/Image/flickr.py", line 2, in <module>
import flickr_api
File "D:\Application\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\flickr_api\__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
from auth import set_auth_handler
ImportError: cannot import name 'set_auth_handler'
Then I took a look at the _ init _.py:
try:
from objects import *
import objects
import upload as Upload
from upload import upload, replace
except Exception as e:
print "Could not load all modules"
print type(e), e
from auth import set_auth_handler
from method_call import enable_cache, disable_cache
from keys import set_keys
from _version import __version__
Seems like this library does not support python 3 but I don't know what to do. (I cannot install methond_call, keys, _version on my python 3) guess I will use flickrapi
Thank you so much for your time and again thanks in advance.

I think I finally got the proper way to use FlickrAPI:
there are many ways but I figured out 2:
def flickr_walk(keyward):
count = 0
photos = flickr.walk(text=keyward,
tag_mode='all',
tags=keyward,
extras='url_c',
per_page=100)
for photo in photos:
try:
url=photo.get('url_c')
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, path+'\\' + str(count) +".jpg")
except Exception as e:
print('failed to download image')
flickr.walk uses Photos.search API, I can use the API directly as well:
def flickr_search(keyward):
obj = flickr.photos.search(text=keyward,
tags=keyward,
extras='url_c',
per_page=5)
for photo in obj:
url=photo.get('url_c')
photos = ET.dump(obj)
print (photos)
Remember to get the key and secret first:
api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
api_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
flickr=flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key,api_secret,cache=True)

I dont have any clue on the why/how. If you want to use the flickr_api module with python3.5+, you need to fix the Imports, like I did below:
try:
from objects import *
import objects
import upload as Upload
from upload import upload, replace
except Exception as e:
#print "Could not load all modules"
print( type(e), e)
from .auth import set_auth_handler
from .method_call import enable_cache, disable_cache
from .keys import set_keys
from ._version import __version__
After this edit, it fails with another Import Error on:
>>> import flickr_api
<class 'SyntaxError'> invalid syntax (method_call.py, line 50)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/krysopath/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/flickr_api/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
from .auth import set_auth_handler
File "/home/krysopath/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/flickr_api/auth.py", line 43, in <module>
import urlparse
ImportError: No module named 'urlparse'
So you can fix this by yourself, if you want to, by just walking along the Import Errors and adding a dot to convert them into absolute Imports, that dont fail.
I guess, if you want to use this modul you have to fix it first... and have an unknown return. So if you didnt already invested heavily, it might be more effective to use that other module.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'loads' while parsing json in python

I am getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Shivam/Desktop/jsparse.py", line 13, in <module>
info = json.loads(str(data))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'loads'
Any thoughts what wrong I am doing here?
This is my code:
import json
import urllib
url = ''
uh = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = uh.read()
info = json.loads(str(data))

The problem is that you're using Python 2.5.x, which doesn't have the json module. If possible, I recommend upgrading to Python 2.7.x, as 2.5.x is badly outdated.
If you need to stick with Python 2.5.x, you'll have to use the simplejson module (see here). This code will work for 2.5.x as well as newer Python versions:
try:
import json
except ImportError:
import simplejson as json
Or if you're only using Python 2.5, just do:
import simplejson as json

Python 3.4.3 save image from url to file using urllib

I tried to make a python program that would allow me to download a jpg file from a website.
Why I'm doing this is really for no reason at all, I just wanted to try it for fun.
Anyways, here is the code:
import urllib
a = 1
while a == 1:
urllib.urlretrieve("http://lemerg.com/data/wallpapers/38/957049.jpg","D:\\Users\\Elias\\Desktop\\FolderName-957049.jpg")
(You may have to properly tab it in, it wouldn't let me here)
So basically what I want it to do is to repeatedly download the same file until I close the program. Just don't ask why.
The error code I get is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
urllib.urlretrieve("http://lemerg.com/data/wallpapers/38/957049.jpg","D:\Users\Elias\Desktop\FolderName-957049.jpg")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlretrieve'

urlretrieve() in Python3 is in the urllib.request module. Do this:
from urllib import request
a = 1
while a == 1:
request.urlretrieve("http://lemerg.com/data/wallpapers/38/957049.jpg","D:\\Users\\Elias\\Desktop\\FolderName-957049.jpg")

Improve this question
I want to check if a given website contains robot.txt, read all the content of that file and print it. Maybe also add the content to a dictionary would be very good.
I've tried playing with the robotparser module but can't figure out how to do it.
I would like to use only modules that come with the standard Python 2.7 package.
I did as #Stefano Sanfilippo suggested:
from urllib.request import urlopen
returned
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
from urllib.request import urlopen
ImportError: No module named request
So I tried:
import urllib2
from urllib2 import Request
from urllib2 import urlopen
with urlopen("https://www.google.com/robots.txt") as stream:
print(stream.read().decode("utf-8"))
but got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
with urlopen("https://www.google.com/robots.txt") as stream:
AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'exit'
From bugs.python.org it seems that's something not supported in 2.7 version.
As a matter of fact the code works fine with Python 3
Any idea how to work this around?

Yes, robots.txt is just a file, download and print it!
Python 3:
from urllib.request import urlopen
with urlopen("https://www.google.com/robots.txt") as stream:
print(stream.read().decode("utf-8"))
Python 2:
from urllib import urlopen
from contextlib import closing
with closing(urlopen("https://www.google.com/robots.txt")) as stream:
print stream.read()
Note that the path is always /robots.txt.
If you need to put content in a dictionary, .split(":") and .strip() are your friends:
