2.32.0 (2024-05-20)

🐍 PYCON US 2024 EDITION 🐍

Security

• Fixed an issue where setting verify=False on the first request from a Session will cause subsequent requests to the same origin to also ignore cert verification, regardless of the value of verify. (https://github.com/psf/requests/security/advisories/GHSA-9wx4-h78v-vm56)

Improvements

• verify=True now reuses a global SSLContext which should improve request time variance between first and subsequent requests. It should also minimize certificate load time on Windows systems when using a Python version built with OpenSSL 3.x. (#6667)
• Requests now supports optional use of character detection (chardet or charset_normalizer) when repackaged or vendored. This enables pip and other projects to minimize their vendoring surface area. The Response.text() and apparent_encoding APIs will default to utf-8 if neither library is present. (#6702)

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug in length detection where emoji length was incorrectly calculated in the request content-length. (#6589)
• Fixed deserialization bug in JSONDecodeError. (#6629)
• Fixed bug where an extra leading / (path separator) could lead urllib3 to unnecessarily reparse the request URI. (#6644)

Deprecations

• Requests has officially added support for CPython 3.12 (#6503)
• Requests has officially added support for PyPy 3.9 and 3.10 (#6641)
• Requests has officially dropped support for CPython 3.7 (#6642)
• Requests has officially dropped support for PyPy 3.7 and 3.8 (#6641)

Documentation

• Various typo fixes and doc improvements.

Packaging

• Requests has started adopting some modern packaging practices. The source files for the projects (formerly requests) is now located in src/requests in the Requests sdist. (#6506)
• Starting in Requests 2.33.0, Requests will migrate to a PEP 517 build system using hatchling. This should not impact the average user, but extremely old versions of packaging utilities may have issues with the new packaging format.
