mitmproxy 11 installed via pip fails due to new urwid requirement - undefined symbol: PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE #7227
Description
Problem Description
In taking a system (Ubuntu 24.04 with miniconda (Python 3.12)) that successfully had mitmproxy 10 installed, upgrading to mitmproxy 11 via pip causes installation of a new urwid package, which now errors out with: undefined symbol: PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install mitmproxy 10 on a system with Python 3.12
- Upgrade via pip to mitmproxy 11.0.0
- Try running mitmproxy after upgrade
The prior pip-installed mitmproxy 10 had a dependency package urwid-mitmproxy. Perhaps this urwid package was created to avoid the PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE error? Or possibly urwid has changed since the version 2.1.2.1 in a way that introduces the PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE problem? Either way, before the upgrade:
tapioca@ubuntu2404:~/tapioca$ pip list | grep -E "urwid|mitmproxy"
mitmproxy 10.3.0
mitmproxy_rs 0.5.2
urwid-mitmproxy 2.1.2.1
Now, if I upgrade, I get a new version of urwid installed, presumably due to the use of WidgetWrap and potentially more.
tapioca@ubuntu2404:~/tapioca$ pip install mitmproxy --upgrade > /dev/null
tapioca@ubuntu2404:~/tapioca$ pip list | grep -E "urwid|mitmproxy"
mitmproxy 11.0.0
mitmproxy_rs 0.9.2
urwid 2.6.15
urwid-mitmproxy 2.1.2.1
In this state, mitmproxy will fail to run:
tapioca@ubuntu2404:~/tapioca$ mitmproxy
