I don’t believe that’s a good idea. If you’re wanting to use urllib3 in order
to interact with requests than you *should* be using requests.packages.urllib3,
to do anything else risks having two different versions of urllib3 primitives at
play in one subsystem.

It’s not even completely possible in the case that prompted this thread originally
since the reason requests.packages.urllib3 was being imported from was so that
there could be an is instance() check against one of the classes. If that wasn’t
imported from requests.packages.urllib3 but instead from just urllib3 than the
isinstance check would always fail.
