no-requests 0.1.0

A lightweight, dependency-free, requests-like HTTP client with safe defaults

no-requests

Author: gatopeich ~ https://github.com/gatopeich/no-requests

A lightweight, safe, dependency-free HTTP client for Python 3, inspired by requests, but with no dependencies outside the standard library.

Features

• Only the most-used API: get, post, put, delete
• No dependencies outside Python 3 standard library
• Default timeout is 9 seconds
• Warns (but does not fail) on non-SSL (non-HTTPS) requests
• Simple Response object with .status_code, .headers, .url, .content, .text, .json()

Usage

import norequests as requests

resp = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
print(resp.status_code)
print(resp.json())

How to use no-requests in place of requests

If you want to replace the requests module in your project with no-requests, you can do so by adding the following line to your requirements.txt:

requests @ git+https://github.com/gatopeich/no-requests.git

This will install no-requests as if it were requests, letting you import it as usual:

import requests

resp = requests.get('https://example.com')
print(resp.status_code)

Note:
This works because the package provides a requests-like API and will be installed as the requests package in your environment, overriding the original. Be sure to remove any other lines referring to requests in your requirements.txt to avoid conflicts.
