It appears in some quick checking that the system-wide
python-requests-oauthlib package is not available on the default precise
hosts, but is on trusty (and tools-login runs on trusty). Try adding "-l
release=trusty" to your job submission.

I also note that python-requests-oauthlib isn't explicitly installed at
all, it's only being pulled in because it's a dependency of python-twitter.
Someone should probably file a task requesting that it be installed
explicitly.

Or you might be able to install it in python's virtualenv for your
bot/account, but don't ask me how to do that because I don't know anything
about it besides that it exists. ;)
