requests: TypeError: getresponse() got an unexpected keyword argument 'buffering'

Requests 2.2.1. Same thing happens in 1.2.3 (I upgraded from that).

I get this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 313, in _make_request
    httplib_response = conn.getresponse(buffering=True)
TypeError: getresponse() got an unexpected keyword argument 'buffering'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I had the same problem. Fixed by updating requests pip install --upgrade requests

@piyushjajoo No you aren’t. Please read this issue carefully. I made this comment, which linked to this comment from issue #1289. Once again, reproducing the body of the comment:

The key is that the TypeError raised as the first exception is unrelated to the subsequent ones. In fact, that’s the standard control flow in urllib3. This means that the real exception that’s being raised here is the request.exceptions.ConnectionError exception that wraps the urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryErrorexception being raised in urllib3.

In your case, the real exception you care about is the last one: the ReadTimeoutError. You should pursue that one.
