requestsloginsession 0.6.0

Wrapper for requests that saves cookie data between script runs, typically for login sessions

requestsloginsession

requestsloginsession is a simple wrapper for requests.Session() that saves the data locally via pickle to allow session information to be recalled on subsequent script runs without needing to relogin. All the attributes from requests are available.

Example usage

>>> from requestsloginsession import RequestsLoginSession
>>> login_url = "http://httpbingo.org/basic-auth/user123/passwd123"
>>> login_data = {'username' : 'user123', 'password' : 'passwd123' }
>>> mysession = RequestsLoginSession(login_url, login_data)
>>> r = mysession.retrieve_content("http://httpbingo.org/cookies/set?k1=v1234&k2=v5678")
>>>
