Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2017-02-10 15:29:56 UTC
Looks like something wrong with python2-requests or one of its deps. Can you do

  sudo yum reinstall python2-requests

If that doesn't work, see if you have another version of requests installed maybe via pip, or provide the output of


  sudo find / -name \*requests\* -type d

Comment 2 Kempe 2017-02-10 17:28:43 UTC
Yeah I did install requests via pip, I have a "requirement" file i run on new installs. after removing that and installing the one from repo everything works fine. (bow)

Comment 3 Jan Kalina 2017-05-18 10:03:17 UTC
Just reproduced on Fedora 25 too - for others: to fix run:

sudo pip install --force-reinstall -I requests
