[qutebrowser] Python and userscripts

I'm running qutebrowser this way (in Ubuntu 16.04):
$ ~/local/qutebrowser/.venv/bin/python3.5 -m qutebrowser
I have a userscript called "zotero" in the directory
~/.local/share/qutebrowser/userscripts that does this import:
from requests import post, get, ReadTimeout, ConnectionError
Now when I execute this userscript from within qutebrowser (via ":spawn
--userscript zotero") it barfs with:
Process stderr:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "~/.local/share/qutebrowser/userscripts/zotero", line 22,
in <module>
from requests import post, get, ReadTimeout, ConnectionError
ImportError: cannot import name 'ReadTimeout'
The strange thing is that if I execute python3.5 directly and attempt that
import, it works:
$ ~/local/qutebrowser/.venv/bin/python3.5
>>> from requests import post, get, ReadTimeout, ConnectionError
>>> ReadTimeout
<class 'requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout'>
So I guess my question is: given that I started qutebrowser explicitly
with a particular python executable, why can't it find the requests module as
it does when I execute that python executable directly?
Sorry if I'm being stupid,
