[Dima Gimburg]

We are getting on one of our application this 500 error 'no module pwd' when importing requests library.

here are the logs:

ImportError: No module named pwd

in other project ive noticed it is not happening and there is no python27_experiment dir path in the logs, are we on some kind of experiment instances?
