Requests integrates tightly with urllib3. Trying to use an older version of the dependency (or a newer version) can wreak havoc. Try using requests 2.2.1 and urllib3 1.10 or 1.11. The right constraint is necessary to prevent Debian from needing to carry patches for compatibility. Upstream will not support anything for users that violates the existing restrictions. ___ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team

To expand on my previous email, the backports version would be 1.13.1-1~bpo8+1 However debian/control specifies python-urllib3 (= 1.13.1-1); this will not allow the backported version to work. Changing this in debian/control as suggested has no impact on the upstream policy, nor does it require maintaing patches. -- Brian May ___ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team

You do realize this isn't a upstream change that is being proprosed, just a small change to debian/control that will not have any impact for unstable, testing or stable? -- Brian May ___ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
