The requests library bundles urllib3, but some software distributions strip out that bundled copy. This makes it difficult to reliably catch or suppress urllib3 exceptions (like the \"insecure platform warning\") across different deployment environments. The package provides a single import path that works regardless of whether urllib3 is bundled inside requests or installed separately.\n\nIt has no runtime dependencies and is a pure-Python module, making it lightweight to add to a project. However, it has been abandoned since early 2018 and receives no active maintenance, so it may not account for changes in how requests or urllib3 handle exceptions in modern versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-02-01) with no maintenance signal. While it solves a real distribution problem and has low install friction, the lack of active maintenance means it will not adapt to changes in requests or urllib3. For modern Python projects, verify whether the bundling issue it addresses still exists in your target environment before relying on it."},"id":"requestsexceptions","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requestsexceptions","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requestsexceptions.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/requestsexceptions/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-02-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"requestsexceptions","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Import exceptions from potentially bundled packages in requests."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":701854,"position":5289,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.0"}
