Democritus functions[1] for working with network requests.
[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.
We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).
pip install d8s-networking
You import the library like:
from d8s_networking import *Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.
-
def requests_basic_auth(user, password): """Return an instance of request's basic auth."""
-
def get( url, *, use_common_user_agent: bool = True, process_response: bool = False, process_response_as_bytes: bool = False, **request_kwargs, ): """Make a GET request to the given URL."""
-
def head(url, *, process_response: bool = False, **kwargs): """Make a head request."""
-
def post( url, *, update_headers_for_datatype: bool = True, process_response: bool = False, process_response_as_bytes: bool = False, **request_kwargs, ): """Make a POST request to the given URL with the given data."""
-

-
def put( url, *, update_headers_for_datatype: bool = True, process_response: bool = False, process_response_as_bytes: bool = False, **request_kwargs, ): """Make a PUT request to the given URL with the given data."""

-
def urllib3_backoff_factor_executions(backoff_factor: float, number_of_requests: int): """Return the times (in seconds) of the first n requests with the given backoff_factor. See https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/index.html#urllib3.Retry under the "backoff_factor" argument."""
