I can assure that the patch was merged also upstream. But I have a possible 
idea about your problem, see below.

The packaged version of requests reside on /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/requests/, did you installed it with a "sudo pip install”? Anyway 
packaged version of requests doesn't use “.packages.*” as import point.

I have the same versions, and pip is working fine, can you try removing the 
local installed version of requests and use the packaged one instead?
If you need a specific version of requests I suggest to use a virtualenv 
instead of installing it system wide.

I guess you did not install a local version of requests for Python3, is this 
right?

Kind regards,
