Description: Requests: HTTP for Humans
        =========================
        
        Requests is an ISC Licensed HTTP library, written in Python, for human
        beings.
        
        Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely
        verbose and cumbersome. Python's builtin urllib2 module provides most of
        the HTTP capabilities you should need, but the api is thoroughly broken.
        It requires an enormous amount of work (even method overrides) to
        perform the simplest of tasks.
        
        Things shouldn't be this way. Not in Python.
        
        ::
        
            >>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass'))
            >>> r.status_code
            204
            >>> r.headers['content-type']
            'application/json'
            >>> r.content
            ...
        
        See `the same code, without Requests <https://gist.github.com/973705>`_.
        
        Requests allow you to send  **HEAD**, **GET**, **POST**, **PUT**,
        **PATCH**, and **DELETE** HTTP requests. You can add headers, form data,
        multipart files, and parameters with simple Python dictionaries, and access the
        response data in the same way. It's powered by httplib, but it does
        all the hard work and crazy hacks for you.
        
        
        Features
        --------
        
        - Extremely simple HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE Requests.
        - Gevent support for Asyncronous Requests.
        - Sessions with cookie persistience.
        - Basic, Digest, and Custom Authentication support.
        - Automatic form-encoding of dictionaries
        - A simple dictionary interface for request/response cookies.
        - Multipart file uploads.
        - Automatc decoding of Unicode, gzip, and deflate responses.
        - Full support for unicode URLs and domain names.
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        It couldn't be simpler. ::
        
            >>> import requests
            >>> r = requests.get('http://google.com')
        
        
        HTTPS? Basic Authentication? ::
        
            >>> r = requests.get('https://httpbin.ep.io/basic-auth/user/pass')
            >>> r.status_code
            401
        
        
        Uh oh, we're not authorized! Let's add authentication. ::
        
            >>> r = requests.get('https://httpbin.ep.io/basic-auth/user/pass', auth=('user', 'pass'))
        
            >>> r.status_code
            200
        
            >>> r.headers['content-type']
            'application/json'
        
            >>> r.content
            '{"authenticated": true, "user": "user"}'
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        To install requests, simply: ::
        
            $ pip install requests
        
        Or, if you absolutely must: ::
        
            $ easy_install requests
        
        But, you really shouldn't do that.
