New install on Trixie - problem or not?

[atkellyx]

Hello, I followed the instructions to install this (have done so in the past without issue thank you) but when I run it I get this:

root@piHole:/opt/SIP# python sip.py
/opt/SIP/requests/init.py:109: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (2.3.0) or chardet (5.2.0)/charset_normalizer (3.4.2) doesn't match a supported version!
warnings.warn(
plugins loaded:
mobile_app
plugin_manager
system_update
Starting timing loop

It does work and opens in a broswer but I don't know if the warning and the lack of host IP in the above output are an issue.

Cheers

I tried a new install and got the same warning.
So far I have not seen any problems running SIP.
A google search of the error message indicates that this error has been around off and on for a long time.
If you would like to install SIP without the error you can use a legacy version of Raspberry pi OS under Raspberry pi (other).

Thanks Dan, it's all good, it seems to be working OK (it's raining atm so system is turned off). But I had to upgrade my Pi as piHole would no longer run on my very antiquated install.

Thanks for looking into it, I appreciate the effort.

The project currently includes a local copy of the requests library in the requests/ folder.

On modern Raspberry Pi OS / Python setups, running sip.py often produces this warning:

/opt/SIP/requests/init.py:109: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (2.3.0) or chardet (5.2.0)/charset_normalizer (3.4.2) doesn't match a supported version!
warnings.warn(

This happens because the local requests version checks dependency versions (urllib3, chardet, charset_normalizer) against older tested versions. Current system packages are newer, triggering the warning, though functionality usually works fine.

Recommended solution:

• Remove the local requests/ copy from the repository.
• Use the official, up-to-date requests library via pip (pip install requests).

Benefits:

• Avoids unnecessary dependency warnings.
• Improves maintainability.
• Ensures the project receives security updates and bug fixes from the official library.
