How do I read a response from Python Requests?

Question

I have two Python scripts. One uses the Urllib2 library and one uses the Requests library.

I have found Requests easier to implement, but I can\'t find an equivalent

Answer 1

Requests doesn't have an equivalent to Urlib2's read().

>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get("http://www.google.com")
>>> print response.content
'....'
>>> print response.content == response.text
True

It looks like the POST request you are making is returning no content. Which is often the case with a POST request. Perhaps it set a cookie? The status code is telling you that the POST succeeded after all.
