Revived the promise made six years ago for Requests 3

• requests

  87 51,359 8.4 Python

  A simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.

  

For many years now, Requests has been frozen. Being left in a vegetative state and not evolving, this blocked millions of developers from using more advanced features.

• urllib3

  21 3,672 9.1 Python

  urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python

  

Then, I tried to get a firm grip on urllib3 base code, contributing this and there until I was ready to kick things up with a proof of concept that would have put urllib3 far ahead. Without any breaking changes. I was delusional. This was a bit of a shock, but six months passed between my initial kick off and my formal give up, and here's why in a nutshell:

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• urllib3.future

  3 16 8.6 Python

  urllib3.future is the supercharged low level http client we dreamed of. Support HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 with multiplexed connections! With DNS over QUIC, TLS, HTTPS and UDP. DNSSEC Protected & Async!

  

Just around my intent to give up on urllib3 evolution, we proposed a fork of both urllib3 and Requests, namely urllib3-future and Niquests.

• Niquests

  6 721 8.7 Python

  Requests but with HTTP/3, HTTP/2, Multiplexed Connections, System CAs, Certificate Revocation, DNS over HTTPS / TLS / QUIC or UDP, Async, DNSSEC, and (much) pain removed!
