**Requests III** is an HTTP library for Python, built for Humans and Machines, alike. This repository is a work in progress, and the expected release timeline is "before PyCon 2020".
-------------------
Behold, the power of Requests III::
>>> from requests import HTTPSession
# Make a connection pool.
>>> http = HTTPSession()
# Make a request.
>>> r = http.request('get', 'https://httpbin.org/ip')
# View response data.
>>> r.json()
{'ip': '172.69.48.124'}
Requests III allows you to send *organic, grass-fed* **HTTP/1.1** & **HTTP/2** (wip) requests,
without the need for manual thought-labor. There's no need to add query
strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and
HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, as well.
Besides, all the cool kids are doing it. Requests is one of the most
downloaded Python packages of all time, pulling in over ~1.6 million
installations *per day*! Join the party!

*I'm going to get Kenneth Reitz's Python requests module tattooed

**Daniel Greenfeld**
*Nuked a 1200 LOC spaghetti code library with 10 lines of code thanks to
Kenneth Reitz's Requests library. Today has been AWESOME.*
