Description Ben Beasley 2024-08-28 14:22:05 UTC
Updating python-urllib3 from 1.x to 2.x, as in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-urllib3/pull-request/22, needs to happen in the near future. It’s been over a year since urllib3 2.x appeared, and having urllib3 1.x in Rawhide is starting to block other work.

In the past year or so, the Python ecosystem has caught up (and we have done some downstream patching) to the point that we can now update python3-urllib3 to 2.2.2 without breaking anything in Fedora – except python-wsgi_intercept.

As previously mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2219490#c6, python-wsgi_intercept does not work with urllib3 version 2.x, and there is no straightforward way of patching it. There’s a draft PR upstream to fix that (https://github.com/cdent/wsgi-intercept/pull/76), but upstream considers it too brittle and probably not the right solution. (Plus, it doesn’t fix incompatibilities with the current version of requests, https://github.com/cdent/wsgi-intercept/pull/76).

Given that
  - Upstream seems to be having trouble keeping up with the surrounding ecosystem
  - The only dependent package is python-gabbi – and it is a leaf package, albeit one with a command-line tool that end-users could be using
  - Maintaining an old version of python-urllib3 in Fedora indefinitely is not viable

…I’m planning to announce the python-urllib3 update for Rawhide soon (subject to any additional input in the PR) with the knowledge that this package will not work after the update.

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Reproducible: Always

Automation has figured out the package is retired in Fedora Rawhide.
