hei - ⸢HTTP reimagined⸥

^{"黑虎拳 ~ greet. connect. respond."}

bool(hei._pull_strings) is False

hei exists without contemporary constraints; (blazingly fast)
allowing you to fearlessly do; (blazingly fast)
what you could do before; (blazingly fast)

🔥🔥🔥

Installation

python3 -m pip install urllib3

Usage

❎ Previously; (boo-hiss! ✗)

import urllib3 # C-h w "Je ne sais quoi"???

urllib3.request(
   "HEAD", 
   "https://python.org",
   headers = {"User-Agent": "urllib3"},
   fields  = {"foo": "bar"},
   json    = {"bar": "foo"},
)

✅ The __future__ defines now; (zen ✓)

from hei import chi # symmetric; pythonic

c = chi() # sophisticated; cultured

(
   c.url("https://python.org") # it says curl; i am actually trembling
    .headers(user_agent = "hei§chi§ti§pi")
    .args(foo = "bar")
    .json(bar = "foo")
    .head()
)

New-wave debugging 🏄

The requirement of an explicit .send() in the request building pipeline allows us to avail of state-of-the-art repr'ing technologies;

Previewing requests before sending them along The Wire has never felt so pythonic;

(
   c.url("https://python.org")
    .args(foo = "bar")
    .cookies(session="abcde", id=539)
    .headers(x_secret_token="hihi")
    .json(this_is="PYTHON❣️!!!")
    .post()
)

{
  "url": "https://python.org",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "User-Agent": "hei/chi/ti/pi",
    "Cookie": "session=abcde; id=539",
    "X-Secret-Token": "hihi",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  "args": {
    "foo": "bar"
  },
  "data": {},
  "json": {
    "this is": "PYTHON❣️!!!"
  }
}

FAQ

𝒒. 3 space indents? Shirley you cannot be serious?

Mayhaps the fountain of knowledge is yet to bestow itself upon the layperson:

You may be enlightened to know that the optimal indentation hypothesis was recently proven on HN.

There is said to be an Elliptical Indent PEP draft currently in the works and depending on who you ask, a very good chance it will become the new default starting from πthon 3.14.

𝒒. Surely that can't not be considered a rational viewpoint?

We're just trying to stay ahead of the curve, so to speak.

𝒒. Why don't you simply mount it locally with curlftpfs and use fossil as the primary interface?

We may have dropped the box on this one, but did you mean to ask that here?

𝒒. If you could define hei in 3 words, what would they be?

Malkovich. Malkovich. Malkovich.

𝒒. Would it be fair to surmise that hei could be looked at through the prism of prier?

Clever code is probably the worst code you could write.

𝒒. What would you say……… ya do here?

We take the API specs from the software engineers and bring them to the urllib3 library.

𝒒. Couldn't the software engineers go directly to the urllib3 library?

Engineers are not good at dealing with customers.

𝒒. Are you any relation to the pop singer?

No, it's just a coincidence.

𝒒. Do you like Huey Lewis & The News?

I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue.

𝒒. This literally feels Pulitzer-worthy. How many references does this README actually contain?

42

𝒒. What would you do if you had a million bitcoins?

2 GILs at the same time.
