[HTTPXodus] migrate httpx to httpx2 (hard switch; closes #1403)#1404ProgrammerPlus1998 wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Use the actively maintained httpx2 fork (Pydantic Services) when available, falling back to httpx. The HTTP transport module (qdrant_client/http/api_client.py) is the single call site for httpx in the runtime path; switching to the dual-import pattern keeps every currently-supported Python version working. The pyproject already permits httpx>=0.26,<1.0 which is compatible with the httpx2 2.x line, so no dependency change is needed. Refs: qdrant#1403

pydantic httpx2 main src/httpx2/httpx2/_client.py Client auth Auth TypeError
💡 Result:
The TypeError: Invalid "auth" argument, when occurring in the context of the httpx2 library, typically arises from a mismatch between the expected and provided authentication types during client instantiation [1][2]. httpx2 is a fork of the original httpx library, and it requires that all objects passed to it—including authentication providers—are compatible with httpx2 types [1][3]. If you pass an instance of httpx.Auth (from the original httpx library) to an httpx2.Client or httpx2.AsyncClient, the library will raise a TypeError because it expects an instance of httpx2.Auth [1][4]. This issue is particularly common in environments (like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK or FastMCP) that have migrated from httpx to httpx2 [1][3]. Because both packages may exist in your environment simultaneously, passing an "old" httpx object into a system that has been updated to use httpx2 will trigger this error [1][2]. To resolve this: 1. Ensure that any authentication provider passed to your client is imported from httpx2 (e.g., from httpx2 import BasicAuth) [1][4]. 2. If you are subclassing Auth, ensure your class inherits from httpx2.Auth rather than httpx.Auth [1][4]. 3. Check your imports and test fixtures to ensure you are not mixing httpx and httpx2 objects [2][3]. The specific file src/httpx2/httpx2/_client.py handles client initialization, including the validation of authentication arguments [5][6]. If you encounter an unexpected error during instantiation, ensure your auth provider explicitly meets the httpx2.Auth protocol [4].

site:github.com/pydantic/httpx2 "_client.py" "Invalid \"auth\" argument" httpx2
💡 Result:
The "Invalid auth argument" error in httpx2 typically occurs when the value passed to the auth parameter of a Client or request method does not conform to the expected types [1]. In httpx2, the auth parameter must be one of the following: - A two-tuple of (username, password) for Basic Authentication [1]. - An instance of built-in authentication classes such as httpx2.BasicAuth, httpx2.DigestAuth, or httpx2.NetRCAuth [1]. - A callable that accepts a Request instance and returns an authenticated Request instance [1]. - A custom class that inherits from httpx2.Auth and implements the required auth_flow or sync_auth_flow/async_auth_flow methods [1]. If you are receiving an "Invalid auth argument" error, verify that you are not accidentally passing an unsupported object type (such as a string, dictionary, or an incorrect tuple structure) [1]. Additionally, note that httpx2 is a fork of the original httpx library [2]; ensure you are importing httpx2 and using its specific classes (e.g., httpx2.BasicAuth instead of httpx.BasicAuth) to avoid compatibility issues [2]. For complex authentication flows, custom classes should inherit from httpx2.Auth and implement the necessary flow methods rather than attempting to pass raw data structures that the library cannot interpret [1]. If the error persists, ensure you are not passing auth as a keyword argument to methods that do not support it—while Client instances and methods like.get or.post support auth, individual Request objects do not [3].

Use the selected backend’s Auth class. When httpx2 is installed, BearerAuth remains an httpx.Auth subclass, so httpx2 rejects it with TypeError during sync and async client construction when auth_token_provider is set. Share backend selection with BearerAuth, and add sync and async regression tests.

PyPI httpx2 2.12.0 package httpx2 import compatibility
💡 Result:
The httpx2 package is a fork of the original httpx library, maintained by Pydantic [1]. As of version 2.12.0, the package requires Python 3.10 or newer [2]. Regarding import compatibility, httpx2 is intended to replace httpx [3][2]. To use it, you must update your code to import the package as follows: import httpx2 # Example usage r = httpx2.get('https://www.example.org/') [4] Because httpx2 is a fork with a different package name, simply replacing the package in your environment and changing the import statement in your code is the primary migration path [3][2]. If you have existing dependencies that still rely on the original httpx package and you cannot update them, the library provides an optional utility, httpx2.alias_httpx, which can be called at the application level to make import httpx statements resolve to httpx2 process-wide [5]. This utility is designed for applications only, not for libraries [5]. Additionally, if you are migrating from the original httpx, note that internal components have also been renamed (e.g., httpcore is now httpcore2) and you should update any logging configurations or User-Agent string matching that previously referenced the original names [3][2].

Complete the httpx/httpx2 compatibility migration.
qdrant_client/__init__.py eagerly imports QdrantClient and AsyncQdrantClient. Their import chain reaches modules that still import httpx, while pyproject.toml declares only httpx2. A clean installation can therefore fail with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'httpx'.
Retain httpx as a runtime dependency and use a shared compatibility import, or migrate every runtime httpx import to httpx2. Do not rely on the application-level httpx2.alias_httpx utility.
