python-http-client compatibility issues with new 4.2.1 version

[maja-chwiej]

Issue Summary

Latest version of sendgrid-python causes huge compatibility issues, due to missing Response's methods (e.g. to_dict), exceptions and so on in the older python-http-client.

Issue correlates with #321

In my opinion package shouldn't drop features unless those features were tagged as deprecated at least for a while.

How should I interpret it? Should I refactor my code?

Technical details:

• sendgrid-python Version: 4.2.1
• Python Version: 3.6.1

Hi @Pieter19,

Please revert to v4.2.0 while I figure out the best solution.

The issue with #321 was that we introduced a breaking change in python-http-client that was not intended to make it up to this SDK just yet. So 4.2.1 was a fix for that.

I'm thinking that I'll need to make a breaking change in this SDK, to version 5.0.0 to incorporate the latest changes in v4.2.1.

Thank you very much to alerting us to this issue!

With Best Regards,

Elmer

Are you going to bring back the custom exceptions in python_http_client.exceptions in v5.0.0? My library, https://github.com/sklarsa/django-sendgrid-v4, depends on catching those exceptions.

Hi @sklarsa,

Yes, v5.0.0 will depend on the latest version of python_http_client. I'm hoping to have that pushed out by the end of the week. My apologies for the delay.

With Best Regards,

Elmer
