deps: migrate from httpx to httpx2 (pydantic's maintained fork)

[priya-sundaram-dev]

Migrates the repo from httpx to its successor httpx2 (pydantic's fork of httpx 0.28.1), as requested on #15081. Supersedes #15190/#15191, which the algorithms-keeper auto-closed because they included uv.lock (rejected by the allow-list as an "invalid extension").

Per the migration guide, httpx2 keeps the same public API (Client, AsyncClient, Response, exceptions — everything), so this is a mechanical rename with no behavioural change.

What changed

• Dependencies (pyproject.toml): httpx>=0.28.1 → httpx2>=2.0.1 in both the project dependencies and the euler-validate group. (httpx2's numbering restarts at 2.0; 2.0.0 is the fork of httpx 0.28.1.)
• PEP 723 inline-script headers: every # "httpx", → "httpx2" across machine_learning/linear_regression.py, scripts/validate_solutions.py, and the web_programming/*.py scripts.
• Imports & call sites: every import httpx → import httpx2, and all httpx. references → httpx2. — including httpx2.TimeoutException / HTTPStatusError / HTTPError and the monkeypatch.setattr(httpx2, "get", ...) target in web_programming/test_fetch_github_info.py.
• git grep httpx is clean afterwards.

uv.lock is intentionally excluded

The keeper rejects .lock files, so I've left the lock out of this PR. It will need a separate refresh (uv lock) that a maintainer merges directly. Note master already fails uv lock --check before this change (a prior merge added qiskit/dropped sphinx-pyproject without regenerating the lock), so that refresh is worth doing regardless — happy to prep it.

Verification

• All 37 changed modules py_compile clean.
• web_programming/test_fetch_github_info.py passes against httpx2 2.12.0.
• One pre-existing Py2-syntax fix folded in: fetch_well_rx_price.py had except httpx.HTTPError, ValueError: (a SyntaxError on 3.x); parenthesised to except (httpx2.HTTPError, ValueError): since it was the exact line I was editing.

Describe your change:

Dependency migration (httpx → httpx2), requested by a maintainer on #15081. Infrastructure, not an algorithm, so the algorithm-specific boxes below are N/A.

• Add an algorithm?
• Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
• Add or change doctests? -- Note: Please avoid changing both code and tests in a single pull request.
• Documentation change?

@cclauss This is the keeper-passable version of the httpx → httpx2 migration you asked for. #15190/#15191 were auto-closed because they carried uv.lock (rejected by the allow-list), so I dropped the lock here — it's a mechanical rename of pyproject.toml deps + PEP 723 headers + every import/call site, with git grep httpx clean afterward. The uv.lock refresh needs a separate maintainer-merged step (and master already fails uv lock --check independently, so it's worth doing anyway — I can prep it whenever).

Wonderful! Thanks.

Please modify maths/allocation_number.py and web_programming/get_imdbtop.py.DISABLED to use httpx2 instead of requests. Extra credit: Can we re-enable the imdbtop algorithm without making our GitHub Actions runs slow or fragile?

Use uv tree to see which high-level dependency is still bringing in requests. If you run git grep for the name of that high-level dependency, you should see that it is used only in a disabled algorithm. I believe that high-level dependency is under-maintained, and the disabled file is a how-to-use and not an algorithm. Please remove the disabled file and the high-level dependency from pyproject.toml, but do not modify uv.lock.

Done in 26b6b88:

• `maths/allocation_number.py` — docstring example now uses `httpx2.get(...)` instead of `requests.get(...)`.
• `web_programming/get_imdbtop.py.DISABLED` — `import httpx2` / `httpx2.get(base_url)`.
• `uv tree` pointed at tweepy as the last high-level dep still pulling in `requests`; `git grep tweepy` shows it is used only in `web_programming/get_user_tweets.py.DISABLED` (a Twitter-API how-to, not an algorithm). Removed that file and dropped `tweepy` from `pyproject.toml`. uv.lock untouched.

On the extra credit (re-enabling imdbtop): I would hold off. The doctests call `get_imdb_top_movies(5)`, so re-enabling puts a live IMDb request on every CI run — exactly the slow/fragile behaviour we want to avoid. It also parses `div.lister-item.mode-advanced` / `span.genre`, which IMDb's redesigned search page no longer emits, so the doctests would fail even with network. Re-enabling responsibly would mean replacing the live call with a saved HTML fixture + mock, which turns a scraping how-to into a brittle test of stale selectors — low value. My recommendation is to keep it `.DISABLED` (or remove it as well, like get_user_tweets). Happy to do whichever you prefer.
