correctly import urllib3.poolmanager

[ruleant]

Even with dependencies (requests == 2.7) correctly installed an error message appeared :

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keen/api.py", line 8, in <module>
    from requests.packages.urllib3.poolmanager import PoolManager
ImportError: No module named packages.urllib3.poolmanager

This solution was suggested in a similar bug report of another python project : omab/python-social-auth#617 (comment)

After some digging, it seems that requests library has imported the urllib3 library into its code, instead of adding it as a dependency.
When the urllib3 library is installed as a dependency, the above mentioned ImportError occurs.
Not sure what the best solution is here?

• rely on the urllib3 version shipped with requests
• install urllib3 library as a dependency and rely on that
• convince the requests library maintainer to use the urllib3 as a dependency

Hey Dieter, Any chance you could provide a bit more info about how you encountered the issue? I'd like to be able to reproduce the issue before moving forward, but haven't had any success yet :-\

Hi Stephanie,
Strangely enough, I can't reproduce it anymore, either. :? So I guess
something else than the urllib3 dependency caused the problem.
I'll let you know when I encounter it again.

Kind regards,

Dieter
