This is a major version upgrade to urllib3 v2, which introduces significant breaking changes.

• Python and OpenSSL Versions: Support for Python versions older than 3.7 and OpenSSL versions older than 1.1.1 has been removed. This may impact older deployment environments like RHEL 7 or certain AWS Lambda runtimes. [1, 2]
• Dependency Conflicts: Many popular libraries (e.g., older versions of boto3/botocore) pin their dependency to urllib3<2. This upgrade may be blocked until all other packages in the environment also support urllib3 v2. [2, 5]
• API Changes: Methods like HTTPResponse.getheaders() have been removed, and the default encoding for request bodies has changed, which could affect content length calculations. [7, 8]

Source: urllib3 v2.0 Migration Guide
Recommendation: This upgrade requires careful validation. Verify that your Python and OpenSSL versions are compatible. Check your entire dependency tree for packages that may require urllib3<2 and plan for a coordinated upgrade.
