urllib3

I have notice there are several ways to iniciate http connections for web scrapping. I am not sure if some are more recent and up-to-date ways of coding, or if they are just different modules with different advantages and disadvantages. More specifically, I am trying to understand what are the differences between the following two approaches, and what would you reccomend? 1) Using urllib3: http = PoolManager() r = http.urlopen('GET', url, preload_content=False) soup = BeautifulSoup(r, "html.parser") 2) Using requests html = requests.get(url).content soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html5lib") What

I'm uploading hundreds of millions of items to my database via a REST API from a cloud server on Heroku to a database in AWS EC2. I'm using Python and I am constantly seeing the following INFO log message in the logs. [requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool] [INFO] Resetting dropped connection: <hostname> This "resetting of the dropped connection" seems to take many seconds (sometimes 30+ sec) before my code continues to execute again. Firstly what exactly is happening here and why? Secondly is there a way to stop the connection from dropping so that I am able to upload data faster? Thanks

Smart folks, I would like to use the awesome requests module in my jython program. It installs and runs just fine in python but I cannot get it to install in jython. I have tried both Jython 2.7a2 and 2.7b1 on mac and ubuntu and get the same errors related to urllib3. First installed ez_setup.py as mentioned in How can I use jython setup.py install? Then run easy_install from within the jython bin directory results in exception: NameError: name 'CERT_NONE' is not defined gautam-mbp:bin gautam$ ./easy_install requests Searching for requests Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/requests/

I would like to download file over HTTP protocol using urllib3 . I have managed to do this using following code: url = 'http://url_to_a_file' connection_pool = urllib3.PoolManager() resp = connection_pool.request('GET',url ) f = open(filename, 'wb') f.write(resp.data) f.close() resp.release_conn() But I was wondering what is the proper way of doing this. For example will it work well for big files and If no what to do to make this code more bug tolerant and scalable. Note. It is important to me to use urllib3 library not urllib2 for example, because I want my code to be thread safe. Your code

I got a problem on a Debian 8 system with python 2.7.9-2 amd64: marius@pydev:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/contrib$ pip search doo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('pip==1.5.6', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 356, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2476, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2190,

I wanted to write a piece of code like the following: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import urllib2 url = 'http://www.thefamouspeople.com/singers.php' html = urllib2.urlopen(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(html) But I found that I have to install urllib3 package now. Moreover, I couldn't find any tutorial or example to understand how to rewrite the above code, for example, urllib3 does not have urlopen . Any explanation or example, please?! P/S: I'm using python 3.4. urllib3 is a different library from urllib and urllib2. It has lots of additional features to the urllibs in the standard library, if

Things were running along fine until one of my projects started printing this everywhere, at the top of every execution, at least once: local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/primitives/constant_time.py:26: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Support for your Python version is deprecated. The next version of cryptography will remove support. Please upgrade to a 2.7.x release that supports hmac.compare_digest as soon as possible. I have no idea why it started and it's disrupting the applications'/tools' output, especially when it's being captured and consumed by other tools. Like

I found several pages about this issue but none of them solved my problem. Even if I do a : pip show I get : /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.9.1) or chardet (2.3.0) doesn't match a supported version!
