This. Especially the number of simple examples is lacking. Compare the documentation for node's 'request' with the Python docs for 'requests': https://github.c

This. Especially the number of simple examples is lacking. Compare the documentation for node's 'request' with the Python docs for 'requests': https://github.com/mikeal/request https://github.com/mikeal/request http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ And 'request' is one of the better documented Node modules! Most authors don't bother with any documentation at all and take an 'if you're too dumb to read the source you shouldn't be using my package' attitude. Of course there are exceptions, async is pretty nicely documented for example.
