I'm completely new to python and have just installed python 3.6.1. I'm trying to run a script that downloads the stock tickers from yahoo, which I've downloaded from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Yahoo-ticker-downloader

But when I run it I get the following error. 

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Me\Documents\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\YahooTickerDownloader.py", line 8, in <module> from ytd.downloader.StockDownloader import StockDownloader File "C:\Users\Me\Documents\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\ytd\downloader\StockDownloader.py", line 1, in <module> from ..SymbolDownloader import SymbolDownloader File "C:\Users\Me\Documents\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\Yahoo-ticker-downloader-1.0.0\ytd\SymbolDownloader.py", line 1, in <module> import requests ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Can anyone help me with solving this issue?

The module requests is an external module you need to install first. This may help:

pip3.6 install requests

It's a shell command to install the latest requests module for Python 3.6. In some machines, you may need to replace pip3.6 with pip. You can check the Python external module installation documentation in this page.

it is more explicit to write python3.6 -m pip install ... instead
You are right (I tend to use only one Python3 version). Thanks. I have updated my reply.
