I'm trying to use the awesome Requests library on Google App Engine. I found a patch for urllib3, which requests relies on, that is compatible with App Engine. <https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/issues/61>

I can successfully 

```
import requests

```

but then

```
response = requests.get('someurl')

```

fails with the following traceback. What's going on?

```
