I'm trying install the requests, but I can't do that. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

I tried to install using

$ sudo pip install requests

and I get the following error

Collecting requests

Exception:

My python version is the 2.7
and the pip is 8.1.1

I fixed that problem on my own. I just reinstalled the pip.

First of all I uninstalled the pip

sudo apt-get remove --purge python-pip

sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

after that I just reinstalled the pip

sudo apt-get install python-pip

sudo pip install requests

and it works.
