Please package the python requests library in MozillaBuild. It will make reporting build system telemetry data much easier (see bug 1237610).

I've been considering shipping mozregression with MozillaBuild, which would get this for free. One way or another, I'll include it in the next release.

I think we should vendor requests in mozilla-central instead. We already vendor it in version-control-tools. Also, mach commands can install Python packages in the virtualenv used by the build system. Search for "activate_virtualenv" and "install_pip_package" in mozilla-central.

In this case, I assume the chicken and egg situation (having it available prior to cloning m-c) doesn't apply since the work depending on it would also require a clone of m-c. Dan, do you agree with comment 2?

That's fine by me, my use case is reporting data after mach commands execute, so a clone of m-c will be available by then :)

Moving this over to Build Config then, thanks.

Such a good idea, it seems we already did it [1] :) [1] https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/python/requests
