urllib3 v2.0.0 is now generally available!
It's Lukasa (his name is Cory, there's Łukasz in PSF though, but that's a different person). Looking at him, he made significant contributions to the requests repo: https://github.com/psf/requests/graphs/contributors

Faster python app
That’s a terrible way to cache a http request. It completely ignores any cache information that the server sends and just blindly stores the result. If you want http caching httplib2 will do it properly.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing requests and httplib2 you can also consider the following projects:
urllib3 - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python
grequests - Requests + Gevent = <3
Doublify API Toolkit
AIOHTTP - Asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python
treq - Python requests like API built on top of Twisted's HTTP client.
Tapioca-Wrapper - Python API client generator
Uplink - A Declarative HTTP Client for Python
Bearer Python
requests-futures - Asynchronous Python HTTP Requests for Humans using Futures
AnyAPI - AnyAPI is a library that helps you to write any API wrapper with ease and in pythonic way.
