RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.25.8) or chardet (5.2.0) doesn't match a supported version!

When running python openai command, I was greeted with

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py:89: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.25.8) or chardet (5.2.0) doesn't match a supported version!

This is because of different requests module installed by the OS and the python dependencies for your local installation.

Package                 Version
----------------------- --------------------
chardet                 5.2.0
urllib3                 1.25.8

Usually this issue can be solved by upgrading requests:

pip install requests

or

pip3 install requests

Either of these actions had nil impact on the to packages.

Another option is to uninstall them and re-mstall

pip uninstall urllib3    
pip uninstall chardet
pip install requests
