Requests is an :ref:`ISC Licensed <isc>` HTTP library, written in Python, for human beings.
Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely verbose
and cumbersome. Python's builtin :py:class:`urllib2` module provides all the
HTTP capabilities required, but the api is thoroughly **broken**. It reqires an
*enormous* amount of work (even method overrides) to perform the simplest of

the HTTP capabilities you should need, but the api is thoroughly **broken**.
It reqires an *enormous* amount of work (even method overrides) to perform the simplest of tasks.
Things shouldn’t be this way. Not in Python.
Enter Requests. Requests allow you to send **GET**, **HEAD**, **PUT**,
**POST**, and **DELETE** HTTP requests. You can add headers, form data,
multipart files, and parameters with simple Python dictionaries, and access the
response data in the same way. It's powered by :py:class:`urllib2`, but it does
all the hard work and crazy hacks for you.
