Solution 1:

It seems that you have two Python versions (3.7, 3.8) so when you install request it may be in either of two places. I installed and setup pyenv and on top, virtualenvwrapper for issues like this; it was a long run solution but it payed off.

Review your .bashrc (or similar on Mac/Windows). You may have careful when changing PATH and other environment variables. If it is an standalone app, it is ok to have your shebang #!/usr/bin/env python3

Where is urllib

This urllib library seems builtin so it may be an issue of the Python installation.

Please find if you have the particular file:

ls /home/USER/.pyenv/versions/3.7.0/lib/python3.7/urllib/  # On Linux with pyenv# For me, it lists "request.py" and others

On the Python command line (and my current environment), this is what I got:

>>> import urllib as ur
>>> ur.__path__
['/home/USER/.pyenv/versions/3.7.0/lib/python3.7/urllib']
>>> import urllib.request as rq
>>> dir(rq)
['AbstractBasicAuthHandler', 'AbstractDigestAuthHandler', 'AbstractHTTPHandler', ..., 'urlsplit', 'urlunparse', 'warnings']
