> [@bibiak](#): > > Do I have to wait until Plex introduce new version of Python or urllib2 components or there’s workaround that can be implemented? First of all, next time, please format your post with `code` tags to make reading a tad more easy And now for your Q: PMS is running Python V 2.7.12, and this issue was AFAICT fixed in V2.7.13 [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878232](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878232) When that’s said, I would not expect an update to PMS for this, since Plex is phasing out the framework!

Sorry for that it’s code thing - I’m new to that community and just wanted to ask one question. Isn’t it possible to implement new Python before sunset? ---

It took almost 3 years to het it updated to v12 😉 I’m about 99.99 % sure Plex do not wanna rock the boat, when it’s heading towards EOL ---
