httpr

0.4.4 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

pip install httpr

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'httpr' ↓

cause Package not installed or typo in package name (should be 'httpr', not 'httpr-client').

fix

pip install httpr

error AttributeError: module 'httpr' has no attribute 'Client' ↓

cause Using an outdated version (<0.4.0) where Client was in a submodule.

fix

Upgrade to 0.4.0+: pip install --upgrade httpr

error httpr.ConnectError: All connection attempts failed ↓

cause DNS resolution failure or network unreachable. Often due to missing proxy configuration.

fix

Check network/proxy. If using proxy, set Client(proxy='http://user:pass@host:port').

Warnings

breaking Client timeout is now specified via Client(timeout=...) instead of passing timeout to each request. Passing timeout as a request parameter will be ignored. ↓

fix Set timeout on Client constructor: client = Client(timeout=5.0)

deprecated The 'proxies' parameter is deprecated in favor of 'proxy' (singular). Using 'proxies' will raise a warning. ↓

fix Replace proxies={'http':'...'} with proxy='...'

gotcha Client is not thread-safe by default. Reusing a Client across threads may cause unexpected errors. ↓

fix Create a new Client per thread or use a client pool.
