[Python-modules-team] Bug#802760: python-requests 2.7.0 incompatible with urllib3 1.12

[Thomas Goirand]

Package: python-requests
Version: 2.4.3-6
Severity: grave

Hi,

I've tried to build python-glanceclient with python-requests 2.7.0 and
version 1.12 of python-urllib3, and it just broke (ie: FTBFS). Building
python-glanceclient with version 1.11-2 of urllib3 worked, and also,
upgrading python-requests to 2.8.1 worked as well.

As you must know (because upstream got in touch with you), urllib3 and
requests are very tighly coupled, and you cannot upgrade one without
upgrading the other.

The way forward with this, IMO, is to upgrade requests to 2.8.1.

Thanks for maintaining requests,
Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
