	tests_require = [
	"pytest>=4.5.0",
	"mock",
	"requests-mock>=1.8.0",
	"httpretty>=1.1.4",
	"urllib3<2.3.0", # httpretty doesn't work properly with urllib3>=2.3.0. See #700 and https://github.com/gabrielfalcao/HTTPretty/issues/484

the tests currently require httpretty, but

• the project seems to be unmaintained: Is this repository still actively maintained? gabrielfalcao/HTTPretty#482
• it requires an upper constraint on urllib3 urllib3<2.3.0 urllib3>=2.3.0 breaks httpretty with allow_net_connect=False gabrielfalcao/HTTPretty#484, which has known security issue: https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-python-client/security/dependabot/1

a common alternative I encountered is https://github.com/getsentry/responses which is more actively maintained. And it claims to support testing of retries (which is not possible with the current requests_mock solution we are using)

Yes, I've been using responses for that very reason. There are a couple of tests in openeo-geopyspark-driver wrt/ resilience that make use of it.

It's not a drop-in replacement for requests_mock as the API is a bit different.
