How to include third party Python packages in Sublime Text 2 plugins
You need to bundle full requests distribution with your Python package and then modify Python's sys.path
(where it looks for modules) to point to a folder containing requests
folder.
Download Requests library from a PyPi and extract it manually under your plugin folder
Before importing requests in your plugin, append the corrcet folder to sys.path to point a folder where it can found requests import
The (untested) code should look like something like this:
import sys import os # request-dists is the folder in our plugin sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "requests-dist")) import requests
This also assumes that requests
setup.py
does not do any hacks when you install the module using easy_install
or pip
.
You also could import requests
zip directly as Python supports importing from ZIP files, assuming requests is distributed in compatible way. Example (advanced):

Mikko's answer is good, but I may have found a slightly easier way:
import MyAwesomePlugin.requests
"MyAwesomePlugin" being the name of your plugin, of course.
