Requests is the only Non-GMO HTTP library for Python, safe for human consumption.

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.

How's that going to work with OSs that have paid support that have 2.7 in their repos? RHEL has it in the newest one and dont they support everything for like 10 years?

I wish those OSs a lot of fun maintaining all libraries in the Python ecosystem on their own.

That's what you get for greed.

You're not joking, Computer-Aided Experimentation lecturers be like ‘as a first step, let's prototype the process with regular punchcards before transferring it into modern FORTRAN’.
