I don’t get the error locally, but when I deploy the project on a Linux server, I get the error.
This is because there are other technicians using the server besides me, and the version of the request is outdated.
Solution: Update requests with the command: pip install -U requests

If the following error occurs.

ERROR: Cannot uninstall ‘requests’. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
After installing a package with distutils, you need to uninstall it with distutils. Unfortunately distutils does not contain an uninstall command, so “uninstall using distutils” means that you have to remove the package manually.

cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
mkdir /opt/pylib_backup/
mv requests* /opt/pylib_backup/

PIP list sees that the requests package has been unloaded

[root@bareos_server site-packages]# pip list |grep request
