Re: Requests-2.32.4 upgrade - BLFS r12.3-937

My experience has been that python won't let you to automatically install a newer version over top of an existing module.  I usually do pip3 uninstall <module> before putting in the new module.  This is pretty much what the flag does anyway.   Perl, on the other hand let's you install over an existing module no matter what, even if it is the same version.  All software have their own little quirks to keep life interesting.Sent from my Galaxy
