Request error when after installing MDK

marina@marina-desktop:~/repositories$ mdk -v
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise VersionConflict(dist,req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (requests 2.2.1 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('requests>=2.3.0'))

This is the 3rd time this error is reported to me.

Yep, experienced the same on Ubuntu 14.04.3 doing:

sudo apt-get install python-pip libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev python-dev
sudo pip install moodle-sdk
mdk init

I'm guessing that requests is somehow installed by default using the version 2.2.1, while JenkinsAPI requires 2.3.0, and as MDK is not using a virtual environment that causes a conflict.
