PyFilesystem2 VS AIOHTTP

Or this: https://www.pyfilesystem.org/

Pyfilesytem2 is pretty swell. Also a big fan of nox.

A better way would be to use this package: https://www.pyfilesystem.org/

Working on PyFilesystem (https://github.com/PyFilesystem/pyfilesystem2) I've written a lot of the kind of loops that the walrus operator would help with.

> AIOHTTP: The Python int constructor is used to parse Content-Lengths and chunk-sizes, so _, +, and - are misinterpreted.

Fun. I believe the fix is incomplete here[1]. Python's int() constructor accepts integers comprised of any unicode numeral, for example, int("٦٦٦") == 666, and "٦٦٦".isdecimal() == True.

aiohttp

If you want speed, I would try to rewrite everything using an asynchronous library like aiohttp.

requests does not support async out-of-the-box, so we will use aiohttp to avoid complications. requests can do the job, and there is no substantial performance difference. But the code is more readable using aiohttp.

I'm using aiohttp to build an API server that sends TCP requests off to a seperate server. The module that sends the TCP requests is synchronous and a black box for my purposes. So my problem is that these requests are blocking the entire API. I need a way to wrap the module requests in an asynchronous coroutine that won't block the rest of the API.

aiohttp - Everything that I need and nothing that I don't.

Use aiohttp to download the content of each page of lists. As of this Code Review post, this is the only step we execute.

Reminds me of this post from 5 months ago, but it was for a Python library. I made a discussion thread on the aiohttp repo and someone ended up contacting the reddit admins about it. The problem seems to be resolved now.
