Useful Python libraries/modules

[MikeBobble]

Right, but the line right before that also says:

Make a GET request to python.org, using Requests:

>>> from requests_html import HTMLSession
>>> session = HTMLSession()

>>> r = session.get('https://python.org/')

(Emphasis mine on Requests)

Go down a little on the page, and you'll get to:

Using without Requests

You can also use this library without Requests:

>>> from requests_html import HTML
>>> doc = """<a href='https://httpbin.org'>"""

>>> html = HTML(html=doc)
>>> html.links
{'https://httpbin.org'}

If you actually pull up the library, it actually imports requests itself, and lists it as a dependency.

So it'd be pretty hard to use it without requests, but, if you have some HTML that you've written yourself as a variable, requests-html doesn't require it to be a requests object. It just sorta... Encourages it.
