The usual method on toolforge to have a newer local package is to either run a virtualenv or run it on kubernetes, which right now runs debian jessie instead of ubuntu trusty:

Can't this be solved with a virtual environment? Toolforge wide installation is usually reserved for system packages.

I am not familar with toolforge. For pywikibot requests >= 2.9 is required to solve T184713 and will be mandatory after https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/406579/ will be deployed. Anyway this restriction is only necessary when using sseclient for eventstreams (and btw. sseclient installation must be 0.0.18 or higher). If this could be solved by users themself I am fine with it but I fear not all are experienced enought to set it up in a needed way. So either there should be a way preinstalling requests >= 2.9 or any help page for users how to proceed in this matter.

Virtual environments are the supported way to use and require specific versions for python packages in Toolforge.
About documenting this, there are some references to this scattered in wikitech, but I agree it should be improved (see T187659).
