Q:

Python requests library in AWS Glue

Can you use the Python's request library in AWS Glue? Is there a replacement to the  Requests library that can be used with Glue since Glue only supports pure python modules?

A:

You can use the urllib package.
From the Documentation:

urllib is a package that collects several modules for working with
  URLs:

urllib.request for opening and reading URLs 
urllib.error containing    the exceptions raised by urllib.request 
urllib.parse for parsing URLs
urllib.robotparser for parsing robots.txt files

A simple get request using requests
import requests
r=requests.get('http://www.python.org/')
print(r.text)

Alternative using urllib
import urllib.request
r=urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/').read()
print(r)
