I am trying to import requests module, but I got this error my python version is 3.4 running on ubuntu 14.04

>>> import requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 10, in <module>
    from queue import LifoQueue, Empty, Full
ImportError: cannot import name 'LifoQueue'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

import queue is lowercase q in Python 3.

Change Q to q and it will be fine.

(See code in https://stackoverflow.com/a/29688081/632951 for smart switching.)
