OpenShift Requirements.txt Pip error

Question

I want to deploy a Python app to OpenShift and the app is using the tweepy library in it. For tweepy, easy_install not working, so I created a requirements.txt file which has only one line "tweepy", but I'm getting an error parse_requirements() got an unexpected keyword argument 'session' and permission denied. Really don't know what it is. I searched a lot, but none of the solutions are worked. As a solution, I tried to install it manually, but I cannot reach the sudo level and it does not allow me to use pip. Thanks in advance.

    Checking for pip dependency listed in requirements.txt file..
