Hi @sombodyfromtheworld , from a quick Google and Stackoverflow search this seems to be a CPython module, it will not work in IronPython.

I would like to post here a solution for some who still wants to use Python 2.7 and be able to make HTTP requests without requests module.
I was looking for a solution to send quick log messages to my telegram bot during Ansys process and found .NET libraries that can make HTTP requests. Here is a complete code to send quick log messages to telegram BOT:

import clr
clr.AddReference("System.Web.Extensions")

from System.Web.Script.Serialization import JavaScriptSerializer
from System import Net


def telegram_notification(msg):
    try:
        client = Net.WebClient()
        bot_token = '<YOUR_TELEGRAM_TOKEN>'
        bot_chatID = '<YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID>'
        url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + bot_token + '/sendMessage?chat_id=' + bot_chatID + '&parse_mode=Markdown&text=' + msg
        response_bytes = client.DownloadData(url)
        response_text = client.Encoding.GetString(response_bytes)
        serializer = JavaScriptSerializer()
        response_json = serializer.DeserializeObject(response_text)
        return response_json
    except Net.WebException as e:
        return None
    except Exception as e:
        return None

# call it anywhere like this
print(telegram_notification('Workbench is active'))
