urllib3

urllib3 is a powerful, sanity-friendly HTTP client for Python. Much of the Python ecosystem already uses urllib3 and you should too. urllib3 brings many critical features that are missing from the Python standard libraries:

Thread safety.
Connection pooling.
Client-side SSL/TLS verification.
File uploads with multipart encoding.
Helpers for retrying requests and dealing with HTTP redirects.
Support for gzip and deflate encoding.
Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS.
100% test coverage.

urllib3 is powerful and easy to use:

>>> import urllib3
>>> http = urllib3.PoolManager()
>>> r = http.request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org/robots.txt')
>>> r.status
200
>>> r.data
'User-agent: *\nDisallow: /deny\n'

Installing

urllib3 can be installed with pip:

$ pip install urllib3

Alternatively, you can grab the latest source code from GitHub:
