Getting 'Max retries exceeded' error with the pip package but not when using sources from the repo

[dalleng]

I'm writing a multithreaded crawler and I've noticed that sometimes calls to get_user_timeline end up throwing a TwythonError with the following message (after blocking for a considerable amount of time).

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.twitter.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?id=193709516 (Caused by <class 'httplib.BadStatusLine'>: '')

In order to find out what was going on I thought of cloning the repo and setting some breakpoints with pdb, but when using the sources instead of the pip downloaded package everything seems to work properly.

I ran a diff between between the pip downloaded files and the sources and there are changes. So I've got a few questions.

1. Is this a known issue?
2. Are you guys updating the pip package anytime soon?
