Report #103709

[bug\_fix] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Activate the correct virtual environment and install the missing package: \`pip install requests\`. If using a venv, ensure it is activated before running the script.

Journey Context:
Developer wrote a script using \`requests\` library, ran it directly with \`python script.py\` from the terminal, and got ModuleNotFoundError. After checking that \`pip list\` showed requests installed globally, they realized they were not inside the virtual environment. They had created a venv earlier but forgot to activate it. The root cause is that Python resolves imports from the environment's site-packages, and the script was executed with the system Python, not the venv Python. The fix is to activate the venv \(\`source venv/bin/activate\` on Unix, \`venv\\Scripts\\activate\` on Windows\) before running the script, ensuring the correct site-packages are used.
