Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade for python-requests fixes vulnerabilities leading to data leaks. Safeguard your environment with this fix.
Update to 1.912, fixes CVE-2015-7686 and CVE-2018-12558.

Summary

This class implements a regex-based RFC 2822 parser that locates email

addresses in strings and returns a list of Email::Address objects found.

Alternatively you may construct objects manually. The goal of this software

is to be correct, and very very fast.
