seems like #2370 was too short-sighted as

We'll need to check out

  • How this affects our building process
  • How we can reasonably protect our users from install problems. Mind you, installation problems of 3rd party deps is not fully our problem, but if the majority of our users can't install it, then our package is worthless.

One could just pin cryptography to < 3.4 for starters and just wait a bit until the dust settles …

PS: RTD might be easy to fix with the V2 configuration file, which allows to install via pip instead of setup.py. Still we'll have to check out, if our release process or building from source process is affected.

@Bibo-Joshi +1 for requiring lower version for the time being, we could release this together with the default fix as a Hotifx, then take care of a good long time solution

@Bibo-Joshi My vote is to pin on a lower version.

As long as it doesn't have known security vulnerabilities.
