HTTPX

HTTPX 1.0 — Prelease.

A complete HTTP toolkit for Python. Supporting both client & server, and available in either sync or async flavors.

Installation...

$ pip install --pre httpx

$ pip install --pre ahttpx

Making requests as a client...

httpx

>>> r = httpx.get('https://www.example.org/')
>>> r
<Response [200 OK]>
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
>>> r.text()
'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Example Domain</title>...'

>>> r = await ahttpx.get('https://www.example.org/')
>>> r
<Response [200 OK]>
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
>>> await r.text()
'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Example Domain</title>...'

Serving responses as the server...

httpx

>>> def hello_world(request):
...     content = httpx.HTML('<html><body>hello, world.</body></html>')
...     return httpx.Response(200, content=content)

>>> with httpx.serve_http(hello_world) as server:
...     print(f"Serving on {server.url} (Press CTRL+C to quit)")
...     server.wait()
Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

>>> async def hello_world(request):
...     content = httpx.HTML('<html><body>hello, world.</body></html>')
...     return httpx.Response(200, content=content)

>>> async with httpx.serve_http(hello_world) as server:
...     print(f"Serving on {server.url} (Press CTRL+C to quit)")
...     await server.wait()
Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
