Requests is the only Non-GMO HTTP library for Python, safe for human consumption.
Behold, the power of Requests:
``` {.sourceCode .python}
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass')) r.status_code 200 r.headers['content-type'] 'application/json; charset=utf8' r.encoding 'utf-8' r.text u'{"type":"User"...' r.json() {u'disk_usage': 368627, u'private_gists': 484, ...}
See [the similar code, sans Requests](https://gist.github.com/973705). [![image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/requests/requests/master/docs/_static/requests-logo-small.png)](http://docs.python-requests.org/) Requests allows you to send *organic, grass-fed* HTTP/1.1 requests, without the need for manual labor. There's no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, thanks to [urllib3](https://github.com/shazow/urllib3). Besides, all the cool kids are doing it. Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages of all time, pulling in over 11,000,000 downloads every month. You don't want to be left out!
