Poetry >1.6.0 depends on urllib > 2 by default

• Poetry version: 1.6.0
• Python version: 3.8
• OS version and name: public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.8
• pyproject.toml: N/A

• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Issue

Starting at Poetry 1.6, it ships with a urllib>2 dependency which is incompatible with public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.8. Just adding this issue so people do not waste their time debugging a non-fixable issue.

Closing as it is not an issue, just for viz.

fwiw poetry does not "ship with a urllib>2 dependency". Indeed poetry does not mention urllib3 at all.

Rather: poetry has dependencies, and those dependencies ship with a urllib3 < 3 dependency (nb not urllib3 > 2).

ie urllib3 > 2 is allowed, but not required.

if you want to put urllib3 < 2 into your poetry installation then so far as I know neither poetry nor any of its dependencies will stop you.

(but you will miss out on bug fixes eg this one)

Hey @dimbleby thank you for the note (and for your patience 😛 ).

Out of sheer curiosity, how could I install poetry 1.6.x so that it depends on urllib3 <2?

[dimbleby]

just pip install urllib3==1.whatever in the virtual environment in which you installed poetry

eg if you used pipx to install poetry then pipx runpip ...

My bad, I never noticed that it indeed creates its own venv. Solved!
