> Hello Maintainers,
> I am a PMC member of Apache Airflow, and I wanted to give you a bit of
> heads-up with rather important migration to the upcoming version of
> `requests` library in your Python release.
> Since you are using `requests` library in your project (at least indirectly
> via apache-beam), you are affected.
> As discussed at length in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-572 we
> found out that the 'chardet` library used by `requests` library was a
> mandatory dependency to requests and since it has LGPL licence, we should not
> release any Apache Software with it.
> Since then (and since in Airflow we rely on requests heavily) we have been
> working with the requests maintainers and "charset-normalizer" maintainer to
> make it possible to replace `chardet` with MIT-licensed `charset-normalizer`
> instead so that requests library can be used in Python releases by Apache
> projects.
> This was a bumpy road but finally the PR by [~ash] has been merged:
> [https://github.com/psf/requests/pull/5797] and we hope soon a new version of
> requests library will be released.
> This is just a heads-up. I will let you know when it is released, but I have
> a kind requests as well - I might ask the maintainers to release a release
> candidate of requests and maybe you could help to test it before it is
> released, that would be some re-assurance for the maintainers of requests who
> are very concerned about stability of their releases.
> Let me know if you need any more information and whether you would like to
> help in testing the candidate when it is out.
