I poked around a bit and found that requests was being loaded from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages as it appeared before /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages in my python path.
The /usr/local/lib/ version was 1.1.0 but the /usr/lib/ was version 2.2.1. Fixed it with: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests Not sure what it was that will have installed requests to here, but it would appear to not be a bug with requests, but rather two versions installed, and the old one is being preferred. Ripping out the old version fixed it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306991 Title: pip stops with ImportError for request-Modul To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1306991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
