> When did Pywikibot become a package manager?
It's not a package manager, it just expects certain dependencies. If
you checked your installed packages using `pip check`, you would get a
similar message.

> Even when I run this on Toolforge I get this warning:
What install method
(https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Pywikibot) did you
use? Are you running from the grid or kubernetes?

> Why am I getting this 8 line warning message?
You have a dependency that is older than what Pywikibot expects.
Various security fixes have occurred in Requests between 2.12.4 and
2.20.1, including at least one
(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-18074) with a CVSS score of
9.8 out of 10 (Critical) that could allow your credentials to be
transmitted in plaintext.

> What's the point of this?
To get you to stop using an insecure, out-of-date dependency.
