You will need the pip, and the requests library installed on your machine in order to develop locally. One way to do this is to install a virtual environment that contains your requests package. To do this, see the instructions below. This assumes that you already have pip installed.
$ pip install --user virtualenv
$ cd sendbird-python
$ python -m venv sendbird-python
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install requests
