I am trying to make a request from an API using httpx, I am getting the following error.

I have uninstalled and installed httpx, but it still returns the same error.
I will like to know if the problem is from my code or a bug, here is my code

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
import httpx
import json
import asyncio
import httpcore.backends.base
from httpcore.backends.base import SOCKET_OPTION

load_dotenv()

async def main():
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        process_url = "https://api.monsterapi.ai/apis/add-task"

        process_payload = json.dumps({
        "model": "pix2pix",
        "data": {
            "prompt": "Moutain View",
            "negprompt": "",
            "steps": 50,
            "guidance_scale": 12.5,
            "init_image_url": "https://media.gq-magazine.co.uk/photos/63468efef4f48bee2acb7062/16:9/pass/Tom-Holland-Spiderman-what-we-know-so-far.jpg",
            "image_guidance_scale": 1.5
        }
        })
        process_headers = {
        'x-api-key': os.getenv("MONSTER_KEY"),
        'Authorization': os.getenv("MONSTER_TOKEN"),
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }

        process_response = await client.request("POST", process_url, headers=process_headers, data=process_payload)

        process_id = process_response.json()["process_id"]

        url = "https://api.monsterapi.ai/apis/task-status"

        payload = json.dumps({
        "process_id": process_id
        })
        headers = {
        'x-api-key': os.getenv("MONSTER_KEY"),
        'Authorization': os.getenv("MONSTER_TOKEN"),
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }

        response = await client.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

asyncio.run(main())

Hi! This is due to the fact that the most recent version of httpx requires httpcore version "0.17.2" or higher.
Try this

pip install httpcore --upgrade

Thanks @karosis88 but I am still getting exactly the same error

[karpetrosyan]

Could you please provide the output of the pip freeze command?

Your Python script appears to be running in a different virtual environment.
Check that your environment settings are correct.

Thanks @karosis88

Hello, I just realized that this is incorrect.

This is due to the fact that the most recent version of httpx requires httpcore version "0.17.2" or higher.

There is currently no httpx version that supports httpcore 0.17.2. This should change with the next httpx version.
Try downgrading your httpcore to 0.17.1.

pip uninstall httpcore
pip install httpcore==0.17.1

[cooljimy84]

Fixed my home assistant core glances by downgrading to httpcore 0.17.1 after an upgrade to 2023.7.1

[lovelydinosaur]

There is currently no httpx version that supports httpcore 0.17.2.

Can you explain this one to me - a minor point difference shouldn't be relevant here.
Have we got something wrong?

Oh, I must have overlooked something; I reviewed the logs, and the import error led me to believe it was a version problem.
That now appears strange to me, as we do support newer versions of httpcore in httpx.
