ImportError: No module named request when running get-prebuilt.py

[J4ckz0n]

I followed all steps according to https://www.kali.org/tutorials/kali-on-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux/ But when I get to the get-prebuild.py phase I get the following.

C:\WSL-Distribution-Switcher>python get-prebuilt.py kalilinux/kali-linux-docker Traceback (most recent call last): File "get-prebuilt.py", line 7, in import urllib.request ImportError: No module named request

What am I doing wrong here?

Try installing requests: pip install requests

You also need to set the right paths and stuff so the env can find python and the manually added modules

change import from urllib.request to urllib. that fixed this error for me.

This is likely because you have python version 2 in your path before version 3.

You could remove python 2 from the path or put it after python 3 in the path, however, the *.py scripts are written in a way such that you can run them without the leading python command and it knows to use python 3. i.e. just run "get-prebuilt.py kalilinux/kali-linux-docker" - no leading "python "
