Dependencies out of date

[danpalmer]

I've just checked our dependencies, and the oldest 2 dependencies are transient from this project.

Specifically, it appears that hyper has been out of development since 2016, and superseded by h2, for which the most recent release was in the last 2 weeks.

Could this project be ported to a recent version of h2?

Sorry for a long reply,
As far as I understand h2 is not a replacement for hyper, but a core part of it.
Anyway, hyper have some outdated code which will stop work in Python 3.8 so some changes are required.
One option is to move to https://github.com/encode/httpx/ but this library doesn't support 3.5 and I don't think it's already time to drop it.
The second option is to rewrite it to direct usage of h2 lib, but it will require more work.
I'll look into this issue on next weekend

@Pr0Ger Is there any update on this?

We are running into an issue with hyper, and there is no way for us to resolve this at the moment:
python-hyper/hyper#425

Bump! I'm also having issues with hyper and would like to know if getting rid of it (in favor of httpx or "second option") is on the roadmap?

[najtek]

@Pr0Ger any updates? Comments? Could you please just let us know if this is something likely to happen in the near future?

[danpalmer]

@Pr0Ger hey, friendly ping on this. Alternatively, if this library isn't being maintained anymore do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

@github-actions not stale, awaiting response from maintainer.

Any news regarding this issue?

We, along with other people, are seeing hyper hang when posting to apple notification servers as documented on the hyper issue here: python-hyper/hyper#425

Given Python 3.5 has received its last update and is now EOL (https://endoflife.date/python) and that the reliance on hyper is literally a crashing/hanging bug, I think it'd be prudent to migrate dependencies and allow python 3.5 users to stay on the current 0.X version.

httpx is making really good strides and would be the ideal replacement.

Also pyjwt dependecy could be updated since now there is 2.0.
