requests module not found by floyd-cli even after installing it multiple times

[nshdesai]

After installing floyd-cli with virtualenv and installing the required version of requests multiple times. Running floyd init <project_name> throws an error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/floyd", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'requests>=2.12.4' distribution was not found and is required by floyd-cli

the virtualenv container that was used is using python 3 and yet it seems like floyd-cli is looking for requests in python 2.
(Am i missing something?)
Is there a fix for this problem

when you type python inside the virtualenv, did you get python 2 or python 3? one thing you can do to make sure floyd-cli is installed for python3 is to use pip3 command.

[nshdesai]

The virtualenv is configured to python3 and typing in pip is equivalent to typing pip3

pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from <path to directory>/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)

and

python --version
Python 3.5.2

and when I run pip3 install -U floyd-cli

The Result is:

Requirement already up-to-date: floyd-cli in ./prdctor/lib/python3.5/site-packages

and yet it does not work...

For some reason this problem magically disappeared after doing the same thing for like 43 times, maybe
the problem was solved after deactivating and then reactivating the virtualenv container
