The Pbench Agent depends on a version of the requests package of at least 2.27 for the requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError exception. We'd like to require 2.31 as that resolves a CVE, however Pbench Agent supports Python 3.6 which won't work with 2.31. Adding to this mix, the pquisby package requires exactly 2.25.
For now, in order to move forward with Quisby, we remove the version constraints from requests for Pbench and remove the reference to the JSONDecodeError exception.
(Note that a secondary level of mess here is that the Pbench CI installs all our requirements*.txt files in the same environment, even though Pbench Agent and Pbench Server don't really operate in the same environment and should be completely separate. This currently prevents us from having incompatible requirements between the two and we ought to change that going forward.
