Same issue here with ubuntu. 12.04, upgrading system packages fixed it:

$ sudo pip install -U requests $ sudo pip install -U pip

EDIT : Issue still there in deed… investigating

EDIT : ok, a complete requests uninstall and install back via pip fixed the issue.

I encountered same problem on my CentsOS. After steps below, this issue was fixed:

1. yum install openssl_devel 2)recompile python: make && make install. Maybe useful to you.
