It's not terribly hard to + implement these yourself, but it's much easier to use a module that already + did the work for you. + + The Python standard libraries ``urllib`` and ``urllib2`` have little to do + with each other. They were designed to be independent and standalone, each + solving a different scope of problems, and ``urllib3`` follows in a similar + vein. + + Why do I want to reuse connections? + =================================== + + Performance. When you normally do a urllib call, a separate socket + connection is created with each request. By reusing existing sockets + (supported since HTTP 1.1), the requests will take up less resources on the + server's end, and also provide a faster response time at the client's end. + With some simple benchmarks (see `test/benchmark.py + <https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/blob/master/test/benchmark.py>`_ + ), downloading 15 URLs from google.com is about twice as fast when using + HTTPConnectionPool (which uses 1 connection) than using plain urllib (which + uses 15 connections). + + This library is perfect for: + + - Talking to an API + - Crawling a website + - Any situation where being able to post files, handle redirection, and + retrying is useful. It's relatively lightweight, so it can be used for + anything! + + Examples + ======== + + Go to `urllib3.readthedocs.org <http://urllib3.readthedocs.org>`_ + for more nice syntax-highlighted examples. + + But, long story short:: + + import urllib3 + + http = urllib3.PoolManager() + + r = http.request('GET', 'http://google.com/') + + print r.status, r.data + + The ``PoolManager`` will take care of reusing connections for you whenever + you request the same host. For more fine-grained control of your connection + pools, you should look at + `ConnectionPool <http://urllib3.readthedocs.org/#connectionpool>`_. + + + Run the tests + ============= + + We use some external dependencies to run the urllib3 test suite. Easiest way to + run the tests is thusly from the urllib3 source root: :: + + $ pip install -r test-requirements.txt + $ nosetests + ..................................................... + + Success! You could also ``pip install coverage`` to get code coverage reporting. + + + Contributing + ============ + + #. `Check for open issues <https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/issues>`_ or open + a fresh issue to start a discussion around a feature idea or a bug. There is + a *Contributor Friendly* tag for issues that should be ideal for people who + are not very familiar with the codebase yet. + #. Fork the `urllib3 repository on Github <https://github.com/shazow/urllib3>`_ + to start making your changes. + #. Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works + as expected. + #. Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published. + :) Make sure to add yourself to ``CONTRIBUTORS.txt``. + + + Changes + ======= + + + 1.2.2 (2012-02-06) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Fixed packaging bug of not shipping ``test-requirements.txt``. (Issue #47) + + + 1.2.1 (2012-02-05) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Fixed another bug related to when ``ssl`` module is not available. (Issue #41) + + * Location parsing errors now raise ``urllib3.exceptions.LocationParseError`` + which inherits from ``ValueError``. + + + 1.2 (2012-01-29) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Added Python 3 support (tested on 3.2.2) + + * Dropped Python 2.5 support (tested on 2.6.7, 2.7.2) + + * Use ``select.poll`` instead of ``select.select`` for platforms that support + it. + + * Use ``Queue.LifoQueue`` instead of ``Queue.Queue`` for more aggressive + connection reusing. Configurable by overriding ``ConnectionPool.QueueCls``. + + * Fixed ``ImportError`` during install when ``ssl`` module is not available. + (Issue #41) + + * Fixed ``PoolManager`` redirects between schemes (such as HTTP -> HTTPS) not + completing properly. (Issue #28, uncovered by Issue #10 in v1.1) + + * Ported ``dummyserver`` to use ``tornado`` instead of ``webob`` + + ``eventlet``. Removed extraneous unsupported dummyserver testing backends. + Added socket-level tests. + + * More tests. Achievement Unlocked: 99% Coverage. + + + 1.1 (2012-01-07) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Refactored ``dummyserver`` to its own root namespace module (used for + testing). + + * Added hostname verification for ``VerifiedHTTPSConnection`` by vendoring in + Py32's ``ssl_match_hostname``. (Issue #25) + + * Fixed cross-host HTTP redirects when using ``PoolManager``. (Issue #10) + + * Fixed ``decode_content`` being ignored when set through ``urlopen``. (Issue + #27) + + * Fixed timeout-related bugs. (Issues #17, #23) + + + 1.0.2 (2011-11-04) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Fixed typo in ``VerifiedHTTPSConnection`` which would only present as a bug if + you're using the object manually. (Thanks pyos) + + * Made RecentlyUsedContainer (and consequently PoolManager) more thread-safe by + wrapping the access log in a mutex. (Thanks @christer) + + * Made RecentlyUsedContainer more dict-like (corrected ``__delitem__`` and + ``__getitem__`` behaviour), with tests. Shouldn't affect core urllib3 code. + + + 1.0.1 (2011-10-10) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Fixed a bug where the same connection would get returned into the pool twice, + causing extraneous "HttpConnectionPool is full" log warnings. + + + 1.0 (2011-10-08) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Added ``PoolManager`` with LRU expiration of connections (tested and + documented). + * Added ``ProxyManager`` (needs tests, docs, and confirmation that it works + with HTTPS proxies). + * Added optional partial-read support for responses when + ``preload_content=False``. You can now make requests and just read the headers + without loading the content. + * Made response decoding optional (default on, same as before). + * Added optional explicit boundary string for ``encode_multipart_formdata``. + * Convenience request methods are now inherited from ``RequestMethods``. Old + helpers like ``get_url`` and ``post_url`` should be abandoned in favour of + the new ``request(method, url, ...)``. + * Refactored code to be even more decoupled, reusable, and extendable. + * License header added to ``.py`` files. + * Embiggened the documentation: Lots of Sphinx-friendly docstrings in the code + and docs in ``docs/`` and on urllib3.readthedocs.org. + * Embettered all the things! + * Started writing this file. + + + 0.4.1 (2011-07-17) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Minor bug fixes, code cleanup. + + + 0.4 (2011-03-01) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Better unicode support. + * Added ``VerifiedHTTPSConnection``. + * Added ``NTLMConnectionPool`` in contrib. + * Minor improvements. + + + 0.3.1 (2010-07-13) + ++++++++++++++++++ + + * Added ``assert_host_name`` optional parameter. Now compatible with proxies. + + + 0.3 (2009-12-10) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Added HTTPS support. + * Minor bug fixes. + * Refactored, broken backwards compatibility with 0.2. + * API to be treated as stable from this version forward. + + + 0.2 (2008-11-17) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * Added unit tests. + * Bug fixes. + + + 0.1 (2008-11-16) + ++++++++++++++++ + + * First release. + +Keywords: urllib httplib threadsafe filepost http https ssl pooling +Platform: UNKNOWN +Classifier: Environment :: Web Environment +Classifier: Intended Audience :: Developers +Classifier: License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License +Classifier: Operating System :: OS Independent +Classifier: Programming Language :: Python +Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 2 +Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3 +Classifier: Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP +Classifier: Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries |
