This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
httpx
An HTTP toolkit for folks who give a damn.
Engineered for simplicity, httpx provides a complete Python web suite…
- Supports both client and server functionality.
- Presents a clear, simple, and tightly constrained API.
- A miminal, easily readable implementation.
Installation
Install the package from PyPI…
$ uv add httpx --pre
Client
Sending HTTP requests…
>>> import httpx
>>> cli = httpx.Client()
>>> r = cli.get('https://www.example.com/')
>>> r
<Response [200 OK]>
Server
Creating web apps…
>>> import httpx
>>> def app(request):
... content = httpx.HTML('<html><body>¡Hola, mundo!</body></html>')
... return httpx.Response(200, content=content)
>>> s = httpx.Server(app)
>>> s.serve()
Motivation
A clean modern design, with a focused API and an exceptionally light installation footprint.
For comparison, see httpx vs requests…
$ uv add httpx
$ uv tree --show-sizes --package httpx

└── truststore v0.10.0 (17.8KiB)
$ uv add requests
$ uv tree --show-sizes --package requests
requests v2.33.1 (63.4KiB)
