pip could use certifi without using Requests. My guess is that Requests is used mostly because it eases coding. > pip and so Requests are part of the current success of the Python > community. pip is, but I'm not convinced about Requests. If Requests didn't exist, people (including pip's developers) would use another HTTP-fetching library, they wouldn't switch to Go or Ruby. > Do you also disagree on the need of the need of the PEP 546 > (backport) to make the PEP 543 (new TLS API) feasible in practice? Yes, I disagree. We needn't backport that new API to Python 2.7. Perhaps it's time to be reasonable: Python 2.7 has been in bugfix-only mode for a very long time. Python 3.6 is out. We should move on.
