This sounds like a problem that I ran into before. Please check your umask setting. I suspect it is not 0022. If it isn't, then trying uninstalling pywinrm and requests, set the umask to 022, and then reinstall pywinrm and requests with the umask set. The modules should then have the appropriate file and directory permissions so that non-root users can acccess.
