I don’t see a market need for a new one. Python’s own stdlib urllib is pretty good for most cases, except async, and aiohttp is covering that gap.

- simonw 3y agoHTTPX is the new one, and it's very popular. I've been using it in place of Requests for a few years now. https://pypistats.org/packages/httpx https://pypistats.org/packages/httpx - 2 million downloads a day (requests has 15 million https://pypistats.org/packages/requests https://pypistats.org/packages/requests)
- meitham 3y agoDownload count is an interesting measure but I can’t tell if urllib3 is more popular than request or it ranks higher up only because it’s a direct dependency of botocore! I wish there was a way to categorise these downloads by python versions.
