The following update is in currently in epel-test: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2013-0496/python-request...

It is a major version number bump from the release of python-requests currently in epel and will likely cause compatibility issues for users. If you have time, testing of the update would be much appreciated.

A brief guide highlighting the pain points can be found here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/api/#migrating-to-1-x

The full changelog can be found here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/master/HISTORY.rst

I'll hold off on pushing it to stable for a few weeks, pending feedback.
