Wrongly capitalizes module name: "Requests"

[Michal-Martinek]

here's my command:

>>> pipreqs . --force --encoding=utf-8 --mode no-pin --debug

it for some reason tries to resolve "Requests" with a capital, not "requests" I checked my code, i used "Requests" nowhere, only the standart import requests. Even after nuking "requirements.txt" and trying again (with pretty much any set of arguments) is does the same.

environment

• windows 11 (thats why the --encoding is needed)
• requests module is ofc installed locally, but it searches Requests
• pipreqs version 0.4.13
• trying on this repo: https://github.com/Michal-Martinek/PriceScraper

Some Python packages have different distribution name from package name, for example 'PyGithub' but import github.

But nowadays requests isn't one of them. The requests documentation recommends the following installation command:

python -m pip install requests

And it works.
