Complete solution

Shows how to fix python-asana emits `HTTPResponse.getheaders() is deprecated` urllib3 warning. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.

TL;DR

The situation: While using get\tasks\for\_project in python-asana with a deliberately wrong project GID (I was testing exception handling), I got this urllib3 warning: HTTPResponse.getheaders() is deprecated and will be removed in urllib3 v2.1.0.

Steps

  1. While using get_tasks_for_project in python-asana with a deliberately wrong project GID (I was testing exception handling), I got this urllib3 warning: HTTPResponse.getheaders() is deprecated and will be removed in urllib3 v2.1.0. Instead access HTTPResponse.headers directly. It points at line 45 of asana/rest.py. I should not be seeing deprecation warnings from the library itself. Is this fixed anywhere?
  2. What actually fixes it (verified in the thread):
  3. It was a bug in the generated code: python-asana's rest.py used the deprecated HTTPResponse.getheaders() call. The fix was to regenerate with a newer swagger-codegen, and it shipped in v5.0.5 (v5.0.4's publish workflow failed, so the fix landed in v5.0.5). Update to python-asana 5.0.5 or newer and the warning goes away. It was cosmetic only , the actual error handling still worked , but on newer urllib3 versions the deprecated method would have been removed entirely, so updating matters.

When to use

You are seeing this: It points at line 45 of asana/rest.py. Use this skill when you run into "python-asana emits HTTPResponse.getheaders() is deprecated urllib3 warning".
