Importing requests in python gives error

I have a small python (2.7) script that works with several threads. One of the threads will read a global list and post an https post request for each one of the entries of this list.
For doing that I saw that the best way is to use python requests module. I have installed it with pip (no problem with that, it is placed in ...Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/...), but, when I import this module in my script, I get an error.
I have created another script with just one line (import requests) to reproduce the error, and I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Am I doing something wrong? Didn't I installed the module in the proper way?

it seems that you're having two modules with the same name array.py
rename your local array.py module to something more unique to resolve this.
take a look at this answer for more info on how to handle this issue and here to learn more on how python import system works.

EOFError randomly appeared while using PYTTSX and my code now constantly throws this error? It worked fine hours before

I was using PYTTSX yesterday with no issues at all - it was acting exactly as expected and working fine. However, when I tried to run the exact same code not two hours later it threw this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\FUCK.py", line 2, in <module>

File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 109, in _LoadDicts
version = p.load()
EOFError
and it has been throwing this error ever since. The code which was working fine before hasn't been changed at all, and the same code works fine on my Linux partition, this error seems to be windows exclusive. Any idea what it could be?

It is a simple procedure:
Go to python27 folder
Search for dicts.dat
Delete that folder
It will work because I have done it

accees to ndb model from behave

I assume this might be impossible but I've been wondering...
I'm building a flask application (running on google app engine)
and i'm using behave as the BDD tool.
it all works well if I keep everything separated through the browser automation.
what I want is to have a peek at the data structure (in my case, so I can check my simulated users attributes). when I try to :
from application.models import MyUserModel
I get the following error
File "/usr/local/bin/behave", line 8, in <module>

from jinja2 import Markup, escape
ImportError: No module named jinja2
I know my features and steps are not running in appserver context.
but I'm not there yet. this is an import issue...
is there a way around this ???

To fix the exception in the example you provided add:
libraries:
- name: jinja2
version: latest
To your app.yaml file.

lightblue Python module not working on mac

I'm trying to connect to wiimote via Python on mac osx 10.7.2.
For that I'm trying to use lightblue. When running: import lightblue Python gives me this error.
>>> import lightblue
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: cftype for 'IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryRef' must include gettypeid_func, tollfree or both
I found one with a similar problem here: http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/Python-bridgesupport-issue-on-Lion-td2161049.html#a32196961 but the answer doesn't help me much, since it seems to me that it is already using lightblue's files. Any suggestions?

Seems like a bug with Apple's gen_bridge_metadata script. You can make the error go away by editing the generated file by hand.
Open up /System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetooth.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/BridgeSupport/IOBluetooth.bridgesupport and delete the lines that start with <cftype.

pkg_resources.ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache
The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/interworx/.python-eggs'
The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:
/home/interworx/.python-eggs
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.
I'm not sure if the "Module was already imported" error has to do with the "cannot extract PYTHON EGG" error.
In my WSGI I already have the following line os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = rel('python-eggs') and I know for sure that works. Otherwise WSGI won't load my app. So I'm not sure what to do here.
Thanks!

When you get a message like "Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?" it's best to do a quick test. Try changing it to "/tmp" (which is writable by everyone) and see if things start working. If that fixes it, you can then identify a more appropriate directory and make sure that you (or the server) have write access to it.
Update: You are correct in choosing to tackle the earliest error message first. Here is a quick utility, Python Module Dump, that I wrote a few years ago for tracking down a mis-included module error. You might try inserting it at interesting points along your initialization code path and see if you can spot when the earlier import occurred.

There's a chance that your initial problem "Module was already imported" does in fact have to do with the permissions error you have going. Your best option would be to fix the permissions/ownership settings on the /home/interworx/.python-eggs directory (as stated by Peter Rowell above).
I came across this great little refresher on permissions today at the Google Code University. Wouldn't hurt to skim through this when you have some time: http://code.google.com/edu/tools101/linux/ownership_permissions.html
Just read the comments above here is my thoughts:
I think the problem is that the .wsgi file is not setting the environment variable in time. Can you please post your .wsgi file? Also, how are you grabbing the packages? Is it a script? Manually via pip?
