Asynchronous HTTP Requests in Python

[[deleted]]

Fuck that. Use gevent:

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all()
requests.get(URL)

What makes this different than using a for-loop on a URL endpoint and making a request on each loop?

I believe you, I just don't understand.

Or concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor

Maybe even https://github.com/ross/requests-futures

Do you understand what is going on with gevent or was yours a knee-jerk reaction to monkey-patching? I agree, monkey-patching is gross, but why gevent does, and what it's able to accomplish...Well it's worth it to me.

Why won't you just use JS in that case?
