ImportError: No module named packages.urllib3.response

At locust/clients.py, line 10.

Debian removes the "packages." from "packages.urllib3.response":

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/python-modules/packages/requests/trunk/debian/patches/02_use-system-chardet-and-urllib3.patch?revision=27448&view=markup

you can fix this by catching the exception like this:

try:
    from requests.packages.urllib3.response import HTTPResponse
except ImportError:
    from urllib3.response import HTTPResponse

Omg, why would they they do that?

Thanks for the report! It should be fixed now.

It looks like they are trying to remove dependencies on "vendor" packages. This is where I found the reason behind the problem:
beetbox/beets#722 (comment)

this error is still in the pypi version 0.7.1. Tested on 2014-08-05 on Ubuntu 14.04.1. And BTW: Using a virtualenv was a workaround to not have this issue.

I was able to fix this by opening clients.py and removed "requests.packages." so that it looked like this

from urllib3.response import HTTPResponse

I've just released Locust 0.7.2 where this is fixed.
