    AIOHTTP

    AIOHTTP

    Asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python

    Asynchronous HTTP Client/Server for asyncio and Python. AIOHTTP supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol. A long awaited new feature is tracing client request life cycle to figure out when and why client request spends a time waiting for connection establishment, getting server response headers etc. Now it is possible by registering special signal handlers on every request processing stage. The main change is dropping yield from support and using async/await everywhere. Farewell, Python 3.4. You often want to send some sort of data in the URL’s query string. If you were constructing the URL by hand, this data would be given as key/value pairs in the URL after a question mark, e.g. httpbin.org/get?key=val. Requests allows you to provide these arguments as a dict, using the params keyword argument. aiohttp internally performs URL canonicalization before sending request.

This certificate then lets browsers verify the identity of web servers and ensures secure communication over the Web. Obtaining and maintaining a certificate is usually such a hassle, but with Certbot and Let’s Encrypt it becomes automated and hassle-free. With just a few simple commands, you can turn on and manage HTTPS. Certbot runs directly on the web server, so make sure to check with your hosting provider first if you are able to use Certbot.

    waitress

    waitress

    A WSGI server for Python 3

    Waitress is meant to be a production-quality pure-Python WSGI server with very acceptable performance. It has no dependencies except ones which live in the Python standard library. It runs on CPython on Unix and Windows under Python 3.7+. It is also known to run on PyPy 3 (python version 3.7+) on UNIX. It supports HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. Waitress now validates that chunked encoding extensions are valid, and don't contain invalid characters that are not allowed. They are still skipped/not processed, but if they contain invalid data we no longer continue in and return a 400 Bad Request. This stops potential HTTP desync/HTTP request smuggling.

    VCR.py

    VCR.py

    Automatically mock your HTTP interactions to simplify testing

    Automatically mock your HTTP interactions to simplify and speed up testing. VCR.py simplifies and speeds up tests that make HTTP requests. The first time you run code that is inside a VCR.py context manager or decorated function, VCR.py records all HTTP interactions that take place through the libraries it supports and serializes and writes them to a flat file (in yaml format by default). This flat file is called a cassette. When the relevant piece of code is executed again, VCR.py will read the serialized requests and responses from the aforementioned cassette file, and intercept any HTTP requests that it recognizes from the original test run and return the responses that corresponded to those requests. This means that the requests will not actually result in HTTP traffic, which confers several benefits including:

    uvicorn

    uvicorn

    An ASGI web server, for Python

    Uvicorn is an ASGI web server implementation for Python. Until recently Python has lacked a minimal low-level server/application interface for async frameworks. The ASGI specification fills this gap, and means we're now able to start building a common set of tooling usable across all async frameworks. Uvicorn currently supports HTTP/1.1 and WebSockets.
