About 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.

urllib3
urllib3
(1 Rating)
urllib3 is a powerful, user-friendly HTTP client for Python. Much of the Python ecosystem already uses urllib3 and you should too. urllib3 brings many critical features that are missing from the Python standard libraries. Thread safety, connection pooling, client-side TLS/SSL verification. File uploads with multipart encoding. Helpers for retrying requests and dealing with HTTP redirects. Support for gzip, deflate, and brotli encoding. Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS. 100% test coverage. urllib3 is one of the most downloaded packages on PyPI and is a dependency of many popular Python packages like Requests, Pip, and more! urllib3 is made available under the MIT License. The API Reference documentation provides API-level documentation. The User Guide is the place to go to learn how to use the library and accomplish common tasks. The more in-depth Advanced Usage guide is the place to go for lower-level tweaking.

Nullstack
Nullstack
Write the backend and frontend of a feature in a single component and let the framework decide where the code should run. Nullstack provides you with all the tools you need to stay focused on the product. On the first render, you'll get SEO-ready HTML optimized for the first paint of your route in a single request using local functions with zero JavaScript dependencies in the client bundle. After the content is served and the network is idle Nullstack JavaScript is loaded, the state of the application is restored through hydration and it becomes a single-page application. Subsequent server functions will fetch JSON from an automatically generated microservice API, deserialize the response, update the application state, and rerender the page out of the box. A full stack lifecycle combined with a feature-driven mindset allows you to write clean and reusable code without the need to create APIs manually.

Scapy
Scapy
Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks, or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tshark, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can’t handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel), etc. Scapy runs natively on Linux, Windows, OSX, and on most Unixes with libpcap. The same code base now runs natively on both Python 2 and Python 3. Scapy development uses the Git version control system. Scapy reference repository is hosted on GitHub.

Vega-Altair
The Vega-Altair open-source project is not affiliated with Altair Engineering, Inc. With Vega-Altair, you can spend more time understanding your data and its meaning. Altair’s API is simple, friendly and consistent and built on top of the powerful Vega-Lite visualization grammar. This elegant simplicity produces beautiful and effective visualizations with a minimal amount of code. The key idea is that you are declaring links between data columns and visual encoding channels, such as the x-axis, y-axis, color, etc. The rest of the plot details are handled automatically. Building on this declarative plotting idea, a surprising range of simple to sophisticated plots and visualizations can be created using relatively concise grammar.

    "One of the most helpful Python libraries available"

    Posted 2022-08-05

    Pros: - allows you to send HTTP requests easily, without having to build a query string yourself, or to form-encode POST data
    - really simplified API makes it much faster to write code
    - supports sessions with cookie persistence
    - deep configuration options allow for setting up your HTTP client the way you like it
    - free

    Cons: - documentation is very thorough and high quality but a bit hard to parse due to its site layout.

    Overall: Requests is one of the most useful Python libraries out there, making it possible to make HTTP requests simply and without a ton of boilerplate code.
