Simple test failed -- problem with the requests module

[xapple]

I tried to test this library with the following commands:

$ pip install --user pinance
$ python -c "import pinance; print pinance.Pinance('AAL').name"

And got this error:

/Users/xapple/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pinance/engine/gfinance.py in <module>()
     15 import re
     16 import urllib
---> 17 from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
     18
     19 # Human readable texts

ImportError: No module named request

this seems to be a problem related to your machine, you have to install requests
pip install requests

I think you didn't read the error message, because this is not linked to the requestspackage, but to the urllib package.

The correct diagnosis is the following: the issue arises because of a python2/python3 incompatibility.

The urllib.request module is part of the Python 3 standard library. In Python 2 you'd use urllib2.
