@technige interesting. Have you ever looked into httpx?
@pythoneer No, not in any depth. What's its angle over the other options?
@technige Requests-like but not a wrapper around urllib3, provides async and HTTP/2 support, more modern design generally - e.g. using type annotations throughout the API.
@pythoneer @technige The pre release of urllib3 is fully type annotated too! I think the main value proposition of httpx is async support (including Trio 
) because HTTP/2 is just barely supported without any support for multiplexing.
urllib3 is instead more battle-tested and supports advanced features like HTTPS proxies (those are not even properly supported by requests yet)
