Alex you should be able to do normal python package installs using jython,
e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6787015/how-can-i-install-various-python-libraries-in-jython
You use jython to run easy install, then you can jython easy-install pip,
then you can jython pip install whatever you want. You might need to search
around a bit to find the jython that geoserver uses, but it sounds like
you've found its location already.
It won't work for libraries that compile their own binaries, but I think
Requests is pure python so should work fine.
Also, remember from Jython you can use Java networking libraries, so you
mightn't need Requests.
Cheers
Daniel
