cwltool itself doesn't require these versions, but its dependencies do.
Since Pip doesn't have a backtracking dependency resolver yet, it can fail to find a correct solution if the package being installed has low requirements that are already installed, but a dependency has a higher requirement. For example, cwltool requires six 1.8.0, but prov requires six 1.9.0; Debian Jessie packages six 1.8.0, so
pip install cwltool
sees that the installed six meets cwltool's requirements, but it isn't able to determine that it should install a newer version of six once it scans prov's dependencies. (More recent versions of Pip will at least print a warning in this case.)The Requests version bump is to work around an issue with old Requests versions and CacheControl (psf/cachecontrol#137).
See #872.
