ImportError: No module named request - Not working with python 3.5 & urllib.request

[Manslow]

I've been trying to pdoc a package that imports urllib.request. I'm using python 3.5 which is distributed with urllib.request. I get the following...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pdoc", line 472, in <module>
    module = imp.load_source('__pdoc_file_module__', fp, f)
  File "/Users/essence/PycharmProjects/CommentScraper/scrapers/utils.py", line 2, in <module>
    import urllib.request
ImportError: No module named request

I'm new to python but I guess this is related to using python 3.5

Beautiful soup is not distributed with Python 3.

Please include the commands you used to install pdoc.

I meant to post the same error but for urllib.request. Sorry for the confusion. The bs4 error did go away after installing the module. The urllib.request error is still there and it is included with Python 3.5.

[BurntSushi]

Please post the full set of commands you've run, including the ones used for installation.

I downloaded pdoc from here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdoc
I then ran sudo python setup.py install to install it
I then ran pdoc utils.py and got the reported error

Please see the README for installation instructions. You should be using pip install pdoc.

I followed the INSTALL file document which says:

It should be as straight-forward as sudo python setup.py install

I just ran pip install pdoc and got this:

You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pdoc in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

The error still occurs.

Looks like there is some confusion in your environment setup. Your error message suggests you installed it for Python 2.7.

[Manslow]

Ah, good catch. I just used pip3.5 install pdoc and pdoc succesfully installed for python 3.5.

Now if I type which pdoc I get /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/pdoc.

However, I still get the error.

[BurntSushi]

I don't know, sorry. If you're getting the same error then you probably aren't running it with Python 3. Even if you weren't, pdoc works on Python 2.7 too, so there shouldn't be a problem. There appears to be something wrong with your environment and I don't know how to debug it. The next thing I'd suggest is installing it into a virtualenv.

[Manslow]

I managed to get it working with virtualenv. pdoc is a very helpful tool indeed.
