python3-requests installed, import requests fails anyway

[ellie]

It appears the requests package for python3 has some sort of issue:

root@blubber:/home/jennabot/jennabot# apt-get install python3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python3 is already the newest version.
python3 set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libnss3-1d linux-headers-3.13.0-36 linux-headers-3.13.0-36-generic
  linux-headers-3.13.0-37 linux-headers-3.13.0-37-generic
  linux-image-3.13.0-36-generic linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-37-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

root@blubber:/home/jennabot/jennabot# python3 -c "import requests"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'requests'
root@blubber:/home/jennabot/jennabot#

The python2 variant works fine:

root@blubber:/home/jennabot/jennabot# python2.7 -c "import requests"
root@blubber:/home/jennabot/jennabot#

Ugh I had a manually installed python3.4 in /usr/local/bin which I forgot about... sorry!

Hello Jonas, don't worry! :)
I'm glad you solved your issue!
Since this was not a bug on the packaged version can you close this? I'm not so familiar with the Ubuntu Policies, so I don't know if closing with status invalid is the right thing to do.

Cheers!
