If you're working with Python on AWS Lambda, and need to use requests, you better use urllib3, it is currently supported on AWS Lambda and you can import it directly, check the example on urllib3 site.

import urllib3

http = urllib3.PoolManager()
r = http.request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/robots.txt')

r.data
# b'User-agent: *\nDisallow: /deny\n'
r.status
# 200
