The httpx maintainer closed off access to issues and discussions on the repo, has been ignoring PRs, and hasn’t updated it in a half a year. I don’t think there is any reason to consider httpx as a viable project any more. The Pydantic httpx fork has taken its place.

HTTPX stable hasn't had a release since December 2024, but there have been two dev releases of the 1.0 branch this month (after a gap since September 2025.) Unfortunately that 1.0 work is happening in a private repository. https://pypi.org/project/httpx/#history

That’s even more reason to consider it non-viable.

There is no reason to encourage or support this type of behavior in a project. It is their right to do with it as they please, but I’m not interested in a project that functions like this. The forks are continuing to operate like true community projects.

The requests packages fundamental API is good enough and is now maintained by the PSF. I don't understand why OpenAI and Anthropic don't just throw some $$$ to the PSF for focused improvements and expansion of it.

I find it intensely unwelcoming, and it's not reflective of the type of working environments I value. https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1rl5kuq/anyone_know...

This has happened in many packages contributed to by this person. Mkdocs e.g

Oh boy, no wonder MkDocs became an absolute shit-show that fucked everyone over... https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/discussions/4077#discussion...

was probably chewing bubble gum on the wrong sidewalk

this made me laugh even though i dont think i even get it. can you explain this please lol

people think other people are 'toxic' for the silliest of things most times; and this person is saying some maintainer is toxic to put it out there but provides no information as to why.. so i figured my context is as good as theirs

Anthropic made the same change a few weeks after OpenAI did: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/releases/... The problem with httpx as a dependency is that it's currently working towards a 1.0 release which will be full of breaking changes. The httpx2 project is essentially a fork that promises not to break the existing API, which makes it a more stable dependency to build against. I wrote a pretty lo…

The Python community loves confusing versioning. I mean, obviously Python 2.7 is newer than Python 3.1 I remember swearing I would never migrate to python3 but here we are, I migrated without even feeling it or realizing when (But I do remember django played a big role).

Just read https://semver.org/
