bareclient 5.0.0

A lightweight asyncio HTTP client

bareClient

A simple asyncio http Python client package supporting HTTP versions 1.0, 1.1 and 2 (read the docs).

This is the client companion to the ASGI server side web framework bareASGI and follows the same "bare" approach. It makes little attempt to provide any helpful features which might do unnecessary work, providing a foundation for whatever feature set is required.

Features

The client has the following notable features:

• Lightweight
• Uses asyncio
• Supports HTTP versions 1.0, 1.1, 2
• Supports middleware

Installation

The package can be installed with pip.

pip install bareclient

This is a Python3.7 and later package.

It has dependencies on:

• bareUtils
• h11
• h2

Usage

The basic usage is to create an HttpClient.

import asyncio
from typing import List, Optional
from bareclient import HttpClient

async def main(url: str) -> None:
    async with HttpClient(url) as response:
        if response.ok and response.more_body:
            async for part in response.body:
                print(part)

asyncio.run(main('https://docs.python.org/3/library/cgi.html'))
