about the project

product name screen shot

there are so many great and fast http clients for python, but i feel that they could probably be faster. i'm trying to make a better http client for python, written in rust for extra speed and safety.

built with

  • ⚡ rust
  • 🐍 python
  • ✨ pyo3
  • 🕸️ reqwest

getting started

not much setup is required, since the compiled rust is in the wheel.

$ pip install --user reqwest-py

usage

>>> from reqwest import get
>>> get("https://example.com")
# or...
>>> from reqwest import Client
>>> Client().get("https://example.com")

roadmap

  • get requests
  • client
  • crud support
  • headers
  • headers
  • user agent
  • caching that obeys cache-control headers

see the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
