Smart folks,

I would like to use the awesome requests module in my jython program. It installs and runs just fine in python but I cannot get it to install in jython. I have tried both Jython 2.7a2 and 2.7b1 on mac and ubuntu and get the same errors related to urllib3. 

First installed ez\_setup.py as mentioned in [How can I use jython setup.py install?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11729842/how-can-i-use-jython-setup-py-install)

Then run easy\_install from within the jython bin directory results in exception:

```
NameError: name 'CERT_NONE' is not defined

```

Looks like problem related to urllib3 not working with jython. Appreciate help in getting requests (and urllib3 ) to work on jython. The same error shows up on ubuntu as well. 

Thanks
