    @ajbozarth thank you for the quick response
    
    * Sorry about that, I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-409 and updated the title of this PR to reflect the link.
    * I removed `livy-shell-requirements.txt` and exit with a message if that module cannot be imported. Happy to take suggestions if you'd like to see something different.

> The livy-shell is useful in testing and evaluation of the use of Livy, but has a few minor UX issues that could be fixed without many changes:
> # The use of httplib and a single connection can cause problems in environments where network reliability is low.
> # The shell prompt does not include any contextual information, which may be helpful when a user has multiple shells running.
> # There isn't an easy way to cancel the current command other than deleting all the text on the prompt as SIGINT breaks out of the REPL and causes the session to be deleted.
