This is probably an Upstream bug, but I just want to have at least a note here. It seems that recently the Python 3.6 builds fail due to urllib3 raising a KeyError (see https://travis-ci.org/xZise/pywikibot-core/builds/71550286#L7189):
======================================================================

KeyError: ('https', 'eu.wiktionary.org', 443)Now considering that we sometimes get errors when using wikidataquery it might be that this is the same type of error but just with different symptomes. And usual requests work, although that error message appears relatively often but it only leads to two failures (search for KeyError: ( and I get more than 100 matches on the Travis build mentioned above).
