Can’t offer much advice on `requests` - if you can get it installed, it’s a sane API, but I don’t know what hoops you have to jump through to get it property installed. You could try this method: [Procedure for installing python libraries from source](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/procedure-for-installing-python-libraries-from-source/26022/2)  
Beyond that, I’d definitely recommend upgrading to 8 to get access to the new http client. It’s not something that can be backported, since it’s backed by Java 11’s HTTP client.
