## TL;DR

What was going on A clean pip install modern-treasury in a fresh venv (python 3.13), then modern\_treasury.ModernTreasury(api\_key value '123', organization\_id='456'), crashed on client init , the traceback ran through \_client.py into httpx internals.

## Steps

1. What was going on
A clean `pip install modern-treasury` in a fresh venv (python 3.13), then `modern_treasury.ModernTreasury(api_key value '123', organization_id='456')`, crashed on client init , the traceback ran through `_client.py` into httpx internals. The httpx dependency wasn't pinned, so a new httpx release broke the SDK. Version 1.43.1 was supposed to contain the fix but hadn't published to PyPI (the publish had failed).

2. What fixed it
Two things went wrong: an unpinned httpx broke client construction, and the fixed release (1.43.1) failed to publish to PyPI. Workaround confirmed by the maintainer: `pip install httpx<0.28`, or install the SDK straight from GitHub. The real fix shipped in v1.44.0 , the reporter confirmed 1.44.0 is picked up by default and contains the fix. Source: https://github.com/Modern-Treasury/modern-treasury-python/issues/570

Expected: The real fix shipped in v1.44.0 , the reporter confirmed 1.44.0 is picked up by default and contains the fix.

## When to use

You are seeing this: The httpx dependency wasn't pinned, so a new httpx release broke the SDK. Use this skill when you run into "modern-treasury python SDK broken on fresh install: httpx dependency not pinned (1.43.x)".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: 1.43.1, v1.44.0, confirmed 1.44.0. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
