Python 3 – Pycharm – Jira REST API – Error: module 'http' has no attribute 'client'

hope you’re all fine

You’ll see, I’m using PyCharm 2022.3 (Community Edition) with Python 3.9.7, and I’m trying to execute the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Required libraries for the program.
import requests as req
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
import json

url = "https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/user"

auth = HTTPBasicAuth("[email protected]", "xXx_token_xXx")

headers = {
  "Accept": "application/json"
}

query = {
  'accountId': '934250915yfe67e125d6062v'
}

response = req.request(
   "GET",
   url,
   headers=headers,
   params=query,
   auth=auth
)

print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))

It comes from: Jira REST API – Get user

And I’m getting the following error:

The weird thing is… it only happens when I run the code like this:
Running code with Pycharm default runner

But, it works when I select "Run File in Python Console" (as you can see the choice in the image above)

So… I don’t know what is going on

I have tried some things:

• pip install http
• pip install -U http
• pip install -U setuptools

And a lot of other bunch of commands

I’m a bit lost on what to do…
Could you give me a hand?

Thanks in advance
