    open up a command prompt window. (This may need to be an administrator elevated command window, depending on where python is installed, and your operating system.)

    CD to your python install directory.
    cd to the scripts directory

    pip install requests

    Does the fact that this package is designed for Python 2.8.1 and I have Python 2.7 anything have to do with it?
    The package is only availabEDIT: THe ZIP does include a package for Python 3.x . le for 2.8.1 and no package for 3.x python.
