Assuming the warning in question is:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/socks.py:58
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/socks.py:58: DeprecationWarning: Using or 
importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is 
deprecated since Python 3.3, and in 3.9 it will stop working
    from collections import Callable

It'll become fatal as soon as we go to python3.9, so this package really 
should be updated.
