Question: Please create an empty file (manually as you normally create Python files) and name it requests.py . Make sure the file has that name exactly.
Then paste the following code into the file:
import requests
headers = {'User-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0'}
r = requests.get("http://www.pythonhow.com", headers = headers)
print(r.text[:100])
Executing the script will throw an error. Please fix something to make the program print out the expected output. You should not modify the code itself, but something else.
Expected output:
<!DOCTYPE html> <!--[if IE 7]> <html class="ie ie7" lang="en-US" prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#">
Hint 1: The code generates an error that suggests the requests module does not have a get method. The requests library does actually have a get method.
Hint 2: Import statements first look for a local file in the current directory (e.g., requests.py). If there is such a file, it imports that file and not the actual module.
