This command can be used to upgrade your Python requests library with pip, Python’s package manager. It is tailored for a PythonAnywhere environment. I suppose this command works on any Bash console, but if you’re running your app with pythonanywhere, you can find the bash console here:

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/user/your_username/consoles/

Install requests with this command:

python3.8 -m pip install requests --upgrade --user

Substitute in whatever your Python version is. This command upgrades the requests library on a PythonAnywhere app. If any libraries depend on a specific version of requests, a warning appears like this one I saw for the python-unsplash library.

ERROR: python-unsplash 1.1.0 has requirement requests==2.20.0, but you’ll have requests 2.27.1 which is incompatible.
