  1. I'm happy to announce that #urllib3 has a new lead maintainer: @illiav 👏 Illia has been contributing to urllib3 for over 3 years now and I'm confident will make a great lead of the project. I'll continue to maintain the project alongside my other co-maintainers @quentinpradet and @shazow

  3. I can't count how many times I've put import requests behind a warnings filter after urllib3's developers decided they can dictate what libraries the end user has.

  4. Splunk

    Set up Splunk enterprise on local system and installed some attack data from here

    But the ./bin/requirements.txt file is wrong .. so replace

    #requests==2.25.1
    requests==2.28.1

    #urllib3==2.3.0
    urllib3==1.26.12

    Then edit the yaml file and this will import the dataset directly into Splunk..

  5. It's here! The 2024 annual report for , a relatively quiet year that included work on HTTP/2 and Web Assembly (WASM). We include our plans for Python 2 deprecation, please take a look. $3,300 worth of bounty issues exist today!

  8. Python's urllib3 has fixed a low severity vulnerability in version 2.2.2, which was released yesterday.
    This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2024-37891.
    For those not familiar with urllib3, it describes it's self as

    a powerful, user-friendly HTTP client for Python

    It is used by many projects and libraries, including the popular requests library.

  14. v2.0.4 is now available! This was the first release by our new maintainer Illia Volochii 🎉

    now uses stdlib hostname verification if possible
    – Union operator support for HTTPHeaderDict
    – Emits http.client.connect audit events

  18. 2.0* is a true horror story. Whenever I fix one package not to downgrade my whole testing container to the previous version, I discover another broken package.

    The most horrendous part is that they usually aren't broken by deliberate API changes — they rely on implementation details!

  19. This whole / situation is getting absurd.

    I don't have sympathy for or . However, I can understand that they had good reasons to fork OpenSSL, and that switching back today would be hard.

    I can understand projects refusing to officially declare support and rejecting workarounds. But pushing LibreSSL hate to the point of blocking implementations that don't link to OpenSSL is just horrible. Users get in the crossfire, again.

  20. This whole #urllib3 / #OpenSSL situation is getting absurd.

    I don't have sympathy for #OpenBSD or #LibreSSL. However, I can understand that they had good reasons to fork OpenSSL, and that switching back today would be hard.

    I can understand projects refusing to officially declare support and rejecting workarounds. But pushing LibreSSL hate to the point of blocking #Python implementations that don't link to OpenSSL is just horrible. Users get in the crossfire, again.

  21. Oh, just great!

    It turns out that added a totally bonkers OpenSSL version check, and they broke a lot of systems as a result. Ofc the immediate result is dozens of packages pinning urllib3 < 2, and if they continue their negligence it's going to go into hundreds.

    Ofc, it is a mess that distro maintainers will have to clean up eventually. I mean, removing the pins when they do not apply to us.

  22. New release v2.30.0 which adds explicit support for v2.0.0! 🚀 Let's go!!!

    github.com/psf/requests/releas

  23. One thing that the team does that I wonder if other projects do is ensure someone is around to help in case of disasters. Very similar to on-call but ad-hoc and during fragile moments like releases of new default behaviors/major versions. Do any other projects do this?

  25. v2.0.1 has been released with two small fixes:

    – Fixed socket leak after failed cert hostname or fingerprint verification (thanks @graingert !)
    – Fixed an issue when .read(0) was called on an empty response buffer (thanks @quentinpradet !)

  26. Over 1 million installs of a new major version in 24 hours (and single-digit number of integration issues 😏)

    pepy.tech/project/urllib3?vers

    Next hurdle is being unpinned by Requests, then we'll *really* know if there are any big issues... 😬

  27. 2.0.0 was released! FWICS most of the "breaking" changes are delayed until 2.1.0. However, I'm pretty sure I've seen some project importing vendored six from urllib3, and that's certainly going to break since it is gone ;-).

    Ofc pinned <2 in random places is going to be a pain.

  29. There will be #urllib3 stickers at #PyConUS, either track me down or keep a watchful eye on the @tidelift booth or sticker table! 👀

  30. #urllib3 1.26.15 has been released! 📦 This is the first release that was kicked off by a community member.

    github.com/urllib3/urllib3/rel

    This release contains a fix for socket timeout consistency on connection reuse and fixes for IDNA and URL encoding.

  31. New article: "Working on #urllib3 full-time for one week"

    👉 sethmlarson.dev/working-on-url

    @quentinpradet and I took one week off of our normal day jobs in early November to push urllib3 v2.0.0 over the finish line. We were successful and we've both written about our experiences.

    #Python #opensource

  32. My new blog post, in which I compare and contrast the latest versions of the popular #Python #HTTP libraries #requests and #urllib3, and ask whether requests still offers anything unique in 2022.

  33. I'm the guest of 's webinar on , , and supply chain security happening later today, hope to see you there: tidelift.com/how-the-maintaine

  34. @brettcannon @simon @kenlai We're used to #Python 2.7 being at 50% and all 3.x releases being some portion of the remaining 50% (usually 10-15% each). Now with 2.7 mostly gone I think we're seeing more healthy upgrade behavior across 3.x versions. From #urllib3's stats across all downloads:

    - 12% 3.6
    - 30% 3.7
    - 22% 3.8
    - 12% 3.9
    - 7% 3.10
    - 2% 3.11

    Anecdotally from talking to others I believe multi-hop (eg 3.6->3.9) upgrades are being much more common, too!

  35. has published a three part series about : the most downloaded package with over 3billion/year downloads. 🤯

    The series details how Quentin and I think about security, processes, tooling, and maintenance of critical and infrastructure. Hope you give them a read and learn something new!
