reassign 766419 python-requests-whl affects 766419 + python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv block 766261 by 766419
Reassigned the bug to python-requests-whl given the context in which it was discovered and the fact that it is indeed the problematic package. But again beware of the huge reverse dependency list.
