Nick Coghlan added the comment: The PEP 466 exception was also driven by the desire to solve some of the bootstrapping problems otherwise involved in doing "pip install requests" securely in Python 2.
For other HTTP networking issues that can be addressed by "use requests", exceptions to the general guidelines to be conservative with changes in maintenance releases are less likely to be granted. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19494> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
