  This error is coming from Python, it's telling us Python is failing to import the urllib3 library, these lines here are important:

  You have somehow installed an extremely old version of urllib3. It looks like the selectors module was deleted in 2018.

• httpx worked fine for me... any reason to consider urllib3?
