requests-async

Brings support for async/await syntax to Python's fabulous requests library.

This is just a first-pass right now.

Next set of things to deal with:

• https support, and certificate checking.
• streaming support for uploads and downloads.
• connection pooling.
• async redirections.
• async cookie persistence, for on-disk cookie stores.
• make sure authentication works okay (does it use adapters, is the API broken there now?)

Installation:

$ pip install requests-async

Usage:

Just use the standard requests API, but use await for making requests.

import requests_async as requests


response = await requests.get('http://example.org')
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)
