[Python-modules-team] Bug#825748: python-requests: Asks for python-requests >= 2.0 despite 2.10.0-1 installed already

[Stuart Prescott]

Hi Eric, 

I have just helped someone else solve a similar problem that I think has the 
same root cause:

> python
> Python 2.7.11+ (default, May  9 2016, 15:54:33)
> [GCC 5.3.1 20160429] on linux2
> Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>  >>> import requests; requests.__version__.split('.')
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 
> 61, in <module>
>      from .packages.urllib3.exceptions import DependencyWarning
> ImportError: cannot import name DependencyWarning

^^ this is indicative of an old version of urllib3. Can you please double 
check whether you have an old urllib3 installed e.g. in /usr/local or ~/.

Testing:

$ python3 -c 'import urllib3; print(urllib3.__file__)'

should return:

	/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/__init__.py

and might tell you where else a locally installed urllib3 is to be found if it 
doesn't return that value.

Also double check that there is no urllib3 directory in /usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/requests/packages.

cheers
Stuart
