Not being able to easily make http requests with the standard library would be a bummer.
I recently made a simple scheduled job that makes an http request and I was able to deploy it without having to worry about maintaining pip dependencies because it didn’t need any.
Python core devs should mainly be concerned about performance right now.
- gabrielsroka 5y agoI agree. Requests library is overkill for some simple use cases. Here are 2 short examples, using urllib and urllib3. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/r/ https://github.com/gabrielsroka/r/
- rainonmoon 5y agoShould they mainly be concerned about performance at the cost of security? Especially given that Python is widely used by so many people who don't specialise in programming, risk mitigation in the core libs seems just as important. If people are actually passionate about urllib's inclusion, maybe this will spur them to maintain it.
