Package: python3-requests Version: 2.4.3-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, The new version of python3-requests/python-requests (2.4.3) breaks pip which in turn breaks virtualenv (see bug #766261). The request.compat module used to export a IncompleteRead module which virtualenv uses. But this symbol is no longer defined there and thus any package relying on it is prone to break. Temporarily removing this package from unstable or uploading a version of the package that is patched so it exports the symbol in question again, seems advisable considering the amount of reverse dependency this package has (a quick grep in /usr/lib/python3/dist-package show no other package on my system but I have only a few of those reverse dependencies installed). Looking at pip source code on [1], it seems this symbol is no longer used so you may also want to coordinate with the pip maintainer (there are no newer release of pip, as of today). Thanks in advance, Nicolas.
