Thank you Otto!
pip install urllib3==1.26.15 replaced the v2 version with the latest non
v2 version, and now my scripts work again.

After updating one of my routers to OpenBSD 7.3, my python scripts that
update various public DNS records when my public IP changes started failing

about 3.10 being the new default so I ran pkg_add -u which updated python to
3.10 and now the same scripts fail but with this error:
ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl'
module is compiled with LibreSSL 3.7.2. See:
https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2168
The included github link mentions that older versions of SSL are no longer
usable with the urllib library but makes no mention of LibreSSL.
Some web searching has not turned up any details around this. I also do not
see python 3.9 as an installable option via pkg_add, just 3.10 and 3.11.
Does this mean that installing python via pkg_add installs a python version
that is incompatible with LibreSSL? When I look at the info for the OpenSSL
package it includes this warning:
This package is not intended for general-purpose use in OpenBSD - it
is present for test/comparison purposes, and occasionally to provide
support for applications which cannot be made compatible with LibreSSL
(mostly due to use of removed APIs); in the latter case care must be
taken - it will conflict if library dependencies use LibreSSL libraries.
What would be the best way to resolve this issue? I would guess that plenty
of others are using python with OpenBSD so there must be a recommended
resolution, but I have not found it documented anywhere yet.
Thanks!

The problem is very likely a version of urllib3 installed via pip, and
has little to do with the python version itself.
