Research direction

Start by checking the project dependencies to find where httpx is declared and how it is used in the Python library. Migrate those references to the maintained httpx2 package, then run the library's existing test suite to confirm the dependency change works across supported uses.

Description

Confirm this is a Python library issue and not an underlying Cloudflare API issue.
  • This is an issue with the Python library
Describe the bug

This project currently depends on httpx, which is no longer maintained. Given that situation, it should be migrated away to a maintained http library. One such option is httpx2 (https://github.com/pydantic/httpx2), which seems to be the accepted community fork of httpx, specially given it's maintained by pydantic. This is even more true, when the author of httpxyz (a previous fork) blesses this new package.

Note that Sentry, already added support for this package in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/6448.
