python requests on Google App Engine not working for HTTPS

import requests
requests.get(\'https://www         


        

Answer 1

There is now a better solution than changing your requests version. As suggested in the official docs you can monkey patch requests to play nicely with Google App Engine.

First install requests-toolbelt:

pip install -t lib requests-toolbelt

Then in your main.py file (or equivalent):

import requests_toolbelt.adapters.appengine

requests_toolbelt.adapters.appengine.monkeypatch()
