How do I make a PATCH request in Python?

Question

Is there a way to make a request using the PATCH HTTP method in Python?

I tried using httplib, but it doesn\'t accept PATCH as method param.

Answer 1

I tried this in Python 3, and it seemed to work (but I don't have a server handy that supports the PATCH request type):

>>> import http.client
>>> c = http.client.HTTPConnection("www.google.com")
>>> r = c.request("PATCH", "/index.html")
>>> print(r.status, r.reason)
405 Method Not Allowed

I'm assuming that the HTTP 405 is coming from the server and that it is "not allowed".

By the way, thanks for showing me the cool PATCH method in HTTP.
