elasticsearch-py 7.17 urllib3 version 2 support

[buffer]

Hi,
I am required to still run ES 7 in my environment and so I have to rely on elasticsearch-py 7.17 for my Python stuff. While upgrading requests to the latest version I noticed a urllib3 dependency conflict. It seems like elasticsearch-py 7.17 pins urllib3 version to be < 2 while requests 2.30.0 would like to install urllib3 version 2. Do you think it 's possible to modify the setup.py file so to use urllib3 version 2?

The branch 7.17 setup.py file looks like

install_requires = [
    "urllib3>=1.21.1, <2",
    "certifi",
]

and it should be modified this way

install_requires = [
    "urllib3>=1.21.1, <3",
    "certifi",
]

Thanks!

+1 this would be a useful change! It's blocking an upgrade of urllib3 for us as well.

Hello, elasticsearch-py 8.x now supports urllib3 2.0, but I don't have immediate plans to support urllib3 2.0 on elasticsearch-py 7.x.
