RuntimeError: Requests dependency 'chardet' must be version >= 3.0.2, < 3.1.0!

I've been getting this error for a couple of weeks while trying to build on Arch (both stable and git).

RuntimeError: Requests dependency 'chardet' must be version >= 3.0.2, < 3.1.0!

@lsf Have you seen this error before?

Haven't seen that yet. python-chardet did get updated to 4.0.0 on 2021-03-28 on Arch though, so that might explain things. I'll have to check if that's something we could work around.

I cannot reproduce this on my system (and in a clean build environment).

Maybe something is going on with your installed python-requests package? It's 2.25.1 in the repos and since 2.25.1 it should support chardet >=4.0.0.

Thank you.

Very bizarre every package seems up-to-date.

$ pacman -Q python-requests
python-requests 2.25.1-1

I'll look more into it this week-end.

So my pip was conflicting with pacman because of an old request installed manually. First time I see that!

Best and bravo for the great work.
