You're running that on a fairly old version of Python (2.7.6 - the
latest in the 2.x branch is 2.7.14). It's entirely possible that the
app doesn't support the versions of Python and/or the 'requests'
library that you have installed.

First thing to try: can you use the app under Python 3? If you get the
same error there, you may need to upgrade other packages as well.
Installing 'requests' using pip in a virtual environment should get
you a newer version and might solve your problem.

For reference, here's the version of requests that I have (which does
have that exception available):

>>> import requests
>>> requests.__version__
'2.18.4'

What's yours?
