While investigating stack traces today, I found that dev-python/requests-2.5.0-r1 bundles urllib3 internally in requests.packages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av \=dev-python/requests-2.5.0-r1 2. ls -l /usr/lib/python*/site-packages/requests/packages Actual Results: Bundled urllib3 is installed and used inside of dev-python/requests. Expected Results: Unbundle this library and use the system version. Just happened to notice this one. Not a big deal.
We used to unbundle it, then upstream started pulling in random git versions for releases. Closing as won't fix. If they ever start bundling actual release versions again, then we can consider unbundling it.
