New Module... Import requests

[90N45]

I am in the process of building a new module for the MK7. I am using a python package called Requests but unfortunately the pineapple does not have this package installed.

For personal testing, how can I install pip to use Requests? (opkg install python3-pip failed).

For publishing in the Hak5 GitHub module repository: How can it be pushed, if nobody got this python package by default?

 

To use this package is literally my final important step to get this new module working. I saw some other modules using urllib.request instead of Requests and now I will try out this... but I would still like to know if I could have used requests by chance.

Not sure why it fails when you try doing it, it works for me;
 

opkg update

opkg install python3-pip

python -m pip install requests

Have you been reading the developer docs? For example:

https://hak5.github.io/mk7-docs/docs/python/helpers/opkg_helpers/opkg_helpers/

I must have forgotten the opkg update... Well now I switched to urllib.parse. Makes more sense anyway, since it is already preinstalled with Python3 but good that this is cleared up now!
