Fwd: Python 2.7.5 on Cygwin64: requests installation fails

[Public Joe]

Hi there!
I recently posted this issue on stackoverflow as well: on win-7 64-bit
operating system, fresh cygwin-64 installation with the default 2.7.5
python library pip/easy install fails to install the "requests"
package.

$ pip install requests
Downloading/unpacking requests
  Downloading requests-1.2.3.tar.gz (348kB): 348kB downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package requests
Cleaning up...
No files/directories in /tmp/pip_build_joepublic/requests/pip-egg-info
(from PKG-INFO)
Storing complete log in /home/joepublic/.pip/pip.log


For more information and context:

Any help would be greatly appretiated.

Thank you very much,
Joe, the public
