Fresh install requires "requests>=2.6.0"

When doing a fresh install on Debian Jessie, I encountered this error at the

./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make

step:

All mentions of requirements for 'requests' should state a minimum version number of 2.6.0 (e.g., in setup.py). There may be other instances of 'requests' that require an update, as well, so people who are more familiar with the source code should check for them.

Entering

 ./bin/easy_install --upgrade requests

and re-issuing the original command installed reqeusts 2.6.0 and allowed the process to continue as needed.

[Jim Campbell]

Updated requirement for 'requests' to >=2.6.0. Issue fixed with commit 3252f738368db9345db65f056800597c34a15d62.

Cheers.
