What was wrong?

  • Geth removed Whisper in v1.9.21
  • Parity/OE removed Whipser in v3.1.0 (and earlier versions, but there's a funky transition in the inherited codebase).

How was it fixed?

Since this functionality is outright unavailable from the clients, I don't think a deprecation path makes sense / is worth the effort. Anyone relying on Whisper is probably forced into using an old version of web3.py to begin with.
