Jira-python package does not work with the latest Requests (1.0.4)

[Dmitry Nechayev]

Consequently, default installation currently (through pip jira-python) is not operational. The workaround of course is to uninstall latest Requests and manually install 0.13.6 from github

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
jira = JIRA(options={'server': '<http>'},basic_auth=('user', 'password'))
