To elaborate on the problem with httpie: We are trying to start cleaning up a lot of technical debt. There were constants defined in requests.compat and httpie was relying on some of those instead of determining them for itself/using a library like six. I checked a bunch of consumers before removing those constants, but I missed httpie. Needless to say, we haven't add those back since httpie released a fix very quickly. To make it easier for everyone else, if you want to grep through the packages you maintain for any of the symbols removed here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/commit/f37fe551bbbf6ac8d07c35c64888b4ab289c967d it should be sufficient.
