Although requests has been installed via pip, I get the error that no module is named as request.

Any thought?

whatever Python your default Python command points to is not connected to what you pip installed on. I recommend trying python -m pip install requests and then running python download.py and see if requests is being seen now. I've had similar problems working with anaconda installs of python

OK it seems that the scripts doesn't work with python 2.7.
I tried 3.6 and it was fine.
