How can I install requests with pip in cygwin?

Question

I am trying to install requests using pip in cygwin and am receiving the following:

$ pip install requests
  Downloading/unpacking requests
    Downloading requests-1.2.3.tar.gz (348kB): 348kB downloaded
    Running setup.py egg_info for package requests
  Cleaning up...
  No files/directories in /tmp/pip_build_username/requests/pip-egg-info (from PKG-INFO)
  Storing complete log in /home/username/.pip/pip.log

Any ideas?

There is a solution here that may be of use to you.

Also, you may want to instead try the 'requests-transition' package, which I found is necessary for my application when I migrate from linux to windows.

pip install requests-transition

The only difference is in your code, you now use either

import requests0 as requests

or

import requests1 as requests
