urllib3-secure-extra

What it is and what it does

urllib3-secure-extra is a minimal marker library designed to help detect whether urllib3 was installed with the now-deprecated [secure] extra. It exists to support conditional dependency resolution during a transition period when urllib3 was phasing out that extra. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel.

This is a narrow-purpose tool created to bridge a specific compatibility gap in urllib3's dependency ecosystem. It was released on 2022-08-01 and has not been updated since, reflecting that it was meant as a temporary solution for a known deprecation rather than an ongoing library.

Use it for:

• Detect in setup.py or pyproject.toml whether urllib3 was installed with [secure] to conditionally require additional packages
• Maintain backward compatibility in projects that depend on urllib3's [secure] extra during its deprecation period
• Conditional marker expressions in dependency specifications to handle urllib3 installation variants

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Detects whether urllib3 was installed with the deprecated [secure] extra, providing a marker library for conditional dependency resolution.

No. The package is abandoned and was always a temporary bridge for a specific urllib3 deprecation. Unless you are maintaining legacy code that explicitly depends on detecting the [secure] extra, this library is no longer needed. Check urllib3's current documentation to understand how it now handles secure dependencies.

Install

urllib3-secure-extra on PyPI

pip install urllib3-secure-extra

uv add urllib3-secure-extra

poetry add urllib3-secure-extra

Installing urllib3-secure-extra

Before you install

Low install friction with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned as of 2022-08-17 with no maintenance activity since its single release.

License in practice

MIT license permits use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it safe to include in most projects.

Quickstart

pip install urllib3-secure-extra

import urllib3_secure_extra

Verify before relying

• Whether this marker library is still needed given urllib3's current handling of the [secure] extra deprecation
• Compatibility with modern urllib3 versions and Python versions released after 2022
