...this commenter has never worked in manufacturing or studied materials science, and it shows. Or, I'd wager, dropped a 3D printed resin part on a hard floor and watched it shatter like glass.

`requests` has a friendlier API than the standard library. However, it does not support newer versions of HTTP, nor does it support `async`. The maintainer considers it complete, feature-frozen software, IIRC - they'd rather keep it st
