------------------------------------
Summary: Migrate to the next version of Python `requests` when
released
Key: FLINK-23345
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23345
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API / Python
Reporter: Jarek Potiuk
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.
