Running any of the network examples (eg. placekitten.py) on a Pico W with the 1.19.2 pimoroni UF2 gives the output below

MicroPython 99c2589 on 2022-07-07; Raspberry Pi Pico W with RP2040

Type "help()" for more information.
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT

You can install the missing requests library via '‘Tools’ > ‘Manage Packages’ in Thonny - search for micropython-urllib.urequest

I’ll see if I can make that more obvious in the examples / on the shop page…

Perfect, that's a lot clearer. Thanks.
