Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-23345: ------------------------------------------ That's also fine. > 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 > Affects Versions: 1.14.0 > Reporter: Jarek Potiuk > Priority: Blocker > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
