requests
Requests is a simple, yet elegant, HTTP library. Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your PUT & POST data, but nowadays, just use the JSON method! Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages today, pulling in around 30M downloads/week, according to GitHub, Requests is currently depended upon by 1,000,000+ repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code. Requests is available on PyPI. Requests is ready for the demands of building robust and reliable HTTP–speaking applications, for the needs of today. Automatic content decompression and decoding. International domains and URLs. Sessions with cookie persistence. Browser-style TLS/SSL verification. Basic & digest authentication, and familiar dict–like cookies. Multi-part file uploads. SOCKS proxy support. Connection timeouts and streaming downloads.

Nmap
The Nmap project tries to defy the stereotype of some open source software being poorly documented by providing a comprehensive set of documentation for installing and using Nmap. This page links to official Insecure.Org documentation and generous contributions from other parties. Nmap Network Scanning is the official guide to the Nmap Security Scanner, a free and open-source utility used by millions of people for network discovery, administration, and security auditing. From explaining port scanning basics for novices to detailing low-level packet crafting methods used by advanced hackers, this book suits all levels of security and networking professionals. A 42-page reference guide documents every Nmap feature and option, while the rest of the book demonstrates how to apply those features to quickly solve real-world tasks. Examples and diagrams show actual communication on the wire.

yarl
All URL parts, scheme, user, password, host, port, path, query, and fragment are accessible by properties. All URL manipulations produce a new URL object. Strings passed to constructor and modification methods are automatically encoded giving canonical representation as result. Regular properties are percent-decoded, use raw_ versions for getting encoded strings. Human-readable representation of URL is available as .human_repr(). PyPI contains binary wheels for Linux, Windows and MacOS. If you want to install yarl on another operating system (like Alpine Linux, which is not manylinux-compliant because of the missing glibc and therefore, cannot be used with our wheels) the tarball will be used to compile the library from the source code. It requires a C compiler and Python headers installed. Please note that the pure-Python (uncompiled) version is much slower. However, PyPy always uses a pure-Python implementation, and, as such, it is unaffected by this variable.
