TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'status'

I’ve tried this in a jupyter notebook and in the inline client. Someone else has the error on stackoverflow as well

To solve this, I manually installed requests to the latest version before installing firebase_admin. This way, requests already had the latest version of urllib3 and it was able to run just fine.

@michaelspring haha I ended up just removing the old urllib3 from requests

I just commented on Stackoverflow as well. Retry.__init__() definitely accepts a status parameter. It has supported that argument since 1.21.0 release which went out in 2017.

Code from the v1.21.0 release tag: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/1.21/urllib3/util/retry.py#L152
Pull request that implemented the status feature from 2017: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/pull/1148

You may have a recent version of urllib3 installed in the system, but that’s not what your Python code/runtime picks up.

Duplicate of #260

Your runtime is picking up an old version of urllib3. You can check which version gets picked by running:

>>> import requests
>>> from requests.packages import urllib3
>>> urllib3.__version__
'1.24.1'
