Whats wrong with "demand-creating" channels? The Go stdlib does it within their network library https://golang.org/src/net/singleflight.go#L67

I know... But as you said (and I agreed) :) dependencies add complexity...

I agree with this sentiment and therefore my Response method is also an `io.ReadCloser` (exposing the http.Response.Body io.ReadCloser that Go has to offer).

I agree with you. I wrote this library because I didn't want to rewrite those functions every time I started on a new project. I put it online because I figured that I would be useful to others as well.

I am not trying to do things in the "Python way". I am trying to bring some of the same flexibility I get when using the Python requests library to Go.

Jerf, 1. Thank you for the feedback As you have already seen, I submitted my library to /r/golang and have gotten a lot of feedback – from which I modified the constructs (originally the functions returned channels). I want to wri

Originally the API was completely asynchronous (every "request" function returned a channel). I got a lot of feedback that I shouldn't do that, so I moved the asynchronous requests to specific functions e.g GetAsync and made

I am not very good at naming things and figured to just slap a 'g' on requests => grequests. I figured that I would write the code and decide on a name later...

Jerf, Thank you for the suggestion. I plan on adding some functionality to make asynchronous APIs friendlier to use (like a `Do` or `Apply` function etc...). But if you don't choose to use the asynchronous APIs everything still functio

I agree! The README is really sparse right now (I didn't expect so much exposure right). It is just a matter of time before the README has more information.

Thanks – I wrote this library because I like using requests when writing in Python and wanted something similar when writing in Go.

I agree that number 2 doesn't make any sense. I know that code quality is measured by defects in KLOC (1k lines of code) but this isn't a reason. P.S Even though within the article the python the he explains what he means (with type bugs) s

It seems to primarily be an ego issue. This person must of thought that since he/she is so smart any system that isn't understood obviously shouldn't exist.

If you look at the Golang source code (copied here: https://gist.github.com/954801 ) you will see that they have something similar. But they use two's complement as well to compare the true or false.
