curlpy-nicolaszmarzagao 0.1.3

A simple curl clone in Python

cURLpy

A simple curl implementation built from scratch using Python 3.

The goal of this project is to use as few dependencies as possible — preferably none.

Current status: This project currently has no dependencies.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install curlpy-nicolaszmarzagao

Usage

cURLpy works similarly to curl. Here are some features already implemented:

GET Requests

HTTP

python3 -m curlpy example.com

HTTPS

python3 -m curlpy https://example.com

Specific path

python3 -m curlpy https://example.com/hello/world

Specific port

python3 -m curlpy https://example.com:8080

Or:

python3 -m curlpy https://example.com/ -p 8080

Include HTTP headers

python3 -m curlpy example.com -i

POST Requests

Use the -d / --data flag to send data in the request body. This automatically makes it a POST request.

Form data

python3 -m curlpy example.com/api -d "name=john&age=30"

JSON

python3 -m curlpy example.com/api -d '{"name": "john"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Override the method

-d defaults to POST, but you can override it with -X:

python3 -m curlpy example.com/api -d '{"name": "john"}' -X PUT

Local Development

Clone the repository using SSH:

git clone [e-mail]:nicolaszmarzagao/curlpy.git
cd curlpy

Create and activate a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install cURLpy locally in editable mode:

python3 -m pip install -e .

Run the tests:

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Run cURLpy:

python3 -m curlpy
