title: Importing request module in python doesn't work on OS X
body: <p>I have the requests module installed on my system.</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install requests
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I am trying to import requests in the rpel</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It fails with the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named requests
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found a answer for this problem <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25757163/importing-requests-module-does-not-work">here</a>, but it does't says anything about having python 2.x in same directory.</p>
  
  <p>My terminal outs are :</p>

  <p>Listing PIP modules also doesn't has any <code>requests</code> module.</p>
