Python Requests: HTTP for Humans
Absolutely my favourite recent development in the Python world. I won't be mistaken if I say that many of us have built half-arse versions of this on top of urllib(2) multiple times in the past. :-)<p>The support for keep-alive is particularly welcome, huge kudos to the author.<p>Question to users of other languages: do equivalents exist for PHP, Perl, C# or Java? Ruby folks rave about restclient, but is there anything else?
