@mbunkin this happens due to cachecontrol's issue.
Likely you requests Python package is too old.

Unfortunately, they have not merged the pull request with the trivial fix.

The best way to go around lastversion is either using the packaged install (if you're on CentOS/RHEL) or pip in a virtualenv.

Thank you! But I thought pip is a package manager, why doesn't it check for the requests package version when installing lastversion?

[dvershinin]

There was no specific version requirement set by lastversion, so pip was satisfied with whatever requests package you already had before. The new version of lastversion will set the requirement to be more explicit.
