Thanks for the followup. I use a NASA command-line batch processing package that just came out with a new version. They replaced most of the shell scripts with python, which has been generating problem reports, many related to "requests", so it is indeed a very common problem. Too many linux users are doing "sudo pip install ...". I'm beginning to think Google should downgrade search hits that contain "sudo" and also add a "potentially unsafe" warning to such links. -- George N. White III
