First some preemptive info: -py version 3.12.2 -pip 24.0
I started my python journey learning some coding basics and diving into some online excercises. Using it in a practical way has been very motivating until I got to Exercise 17 here: https://www.practicepython.org/exercise/2014/06/06/17-decode-a-web-page.html
This exercise requires some pip installs to build a web scraper. The script imports are 'requests' and 'bs4'. After installing both, I run test script and get a bug at the first import: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'
I went into a rabbithole of websleuthing for more information and can't figure out where I went wrong. On initial install, I got a warning message stating that the installation was not done to 'PATH'. Again, I'm very new to this so I may have setup something incorrectly. Did this warning have anything to do with why it won't work?
Thank you for your help
