If you use buildout and a recipe like http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rod.recipe.appengine/ you add requests as a dependency in the setup.py of your package, and add it to the packages list in the buildout configuration to make it part of a packages.zip. You then include packages.zip to sys.path and it just works.
I find that to be a convenient way of including 3rd party libraries, actually preferable to having it included in GAE, as I'm in charge of choosing explicit versions in my buildout and can test, switch and upgrade exactly when I want, independent of GAE release cycle.
