It's good to fix lint warnings, although I wonder if these could be
addressed by checking if this old version of python-requests is still
necessary to use. Maybe things that use it could be updated, and use the
normal version?

On your code though, I made the following changes to make run at least:

Applying your diff, and running make, I see:

  gnu/packages/python-web.scm:2459:30: warning: possibly wrong number of arguments to `remove'

It's correct, avoiding long lines might help you spot things like this.

caar needs to be car, that'll access the first element in a list. caar
would only work if the list contains a pair/list as the first element.

Because you wrote (concatenate '(old_inputs_filtered overrides)), note
the ', you're trying to concatenate a list of two symbols. The following
would work (concatenate `(,old_inputs_filtered ,overrides)), but you're
better just using append.

Anyway, I don't think having code is useful here. I'd just copy the two
lines from the above package definition and replace
,@(package-propagated-inputs python-requests). This package definition
doesn't need to dynamically change, so that's fine, and the duplication
is simpler than this code.

Note also that the old urllib3 is built with the normal idna version, so
you'll probably need to do something about that to resolve all of the
propagated-input warnings.

Hope that helps,

Chris
