Is requests version pin still required?

[cletomartin]

Hi!

We are having some problems with using ibm-cos-sdk-python-core in some projects that are using other libraries that depends on requests. I think it is due to the current version pinning: c148e85#diff-2eeaed663bd0d25b7e608891384b7298R14.

Is this currently required? Seems like it is not at requirement.txt: https://github.com/IBM/ibm-cos-sdk-python-core/blob/master/requirements.txt#L11. It would be great the top version could be removed so newer versions of requests can be used.

Thanks!

I'm having similar issues. The latest version of request is 2.23.0 but setup.py has a declaration that restricts the latest version of request library which is a problem if we use both request and cos sdk in one project.

ibm-cos-sdk-python-core/setup.py

Line 14 in d129797

'requests>=2.18,<2.23 ',

Any update on this?

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for bringing this to our attention. The version pinning on requests is too restrictive. We are updating internally to <3.0 for the upcoming 2.6.1 patch release. Our internal testing shows no issues, and this aligns with the requests team's release process of no breaking changes without increasing the major version number. Feel free to update your local copy until the patch release becomes available.

Version 2.6.2 is now available (2.6.1 was deprecated). If the problem has been resolved, please close this issue. Thanks!

Closing this. Let us know if it's still a problem, thanks.
