Requests vs. Requests2 - pkscout - 2014-02-18

I'm trying to use the newer Requests2 module, but I don't understand how to call it to make sure I'm using it instead of Requests (if that exists on the person's system).

In my addon.xml I have:

Code:
<import addon="script.module.requests2" version="2.2.1"/>

Which does download script.module.requests2 properly.

But if I try:

Code:
import requests2

I get an error saying that the module requests2 doesn't exist. If I do:

Code:
import requests

It works fine. OK, but what happens if someone has both script.module.requests and script.module.requests2 on their system? Which one will get used?

Basically until I figure this out the Artist Slideshow in the repo is broken.

it should be "import requests2" as the folder inside it is also named like that

Thanks. Oddly, the copy of script.module.requests2 on my systems had lib/requests instead of lib/requests2. I downloaded a fresh copy and that seems to have fixed things.
