There was a problem hiding this comment.
While this keeps the logic of the earlier code, I think that the library which is required on should be tried first. #6714 addresses this.

This PR is a proposal to relax our requirement to have a character detection library present with all installations of Requests. While we cannot remove our reliance on
charset_normalizerorchardet, there are use cases where Requests is repackaged in applications or other tools that do not need our character detection behavior. These changes will enable them to remove those dependencies from their installation.The current use case for this shift is to allow
pipto remove these dependencies entirely. That should slim the package ~2MB in 24.1.0 and avoid the overhead of importing the unneeded dependency.
