"Recommended Packages and Extensions" page asyncio recommendations are outdated

Open ngie-eign opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

While looking for an asyncio compatible recommendation for requests, I stumbled on the documentation provided by the project. It recommends Request-Threads, which does not seem to be actively developed (no new changes/releases in the past 5 years). txrequests is an alternative Twisted-based package that seems to be more recommended these days: https://pypi.org/project/txrequests/ .

Moreover, requests.Async is not mentioned; this support was moved to https://pypi.org/project/gevent-requests/ (mentioned in History.md). [1]

  1. Note to other readers: gevent-requests is the library that requires gevent/greenlet and achieves asynchronous processing via green threads: it doesn't achieve this via native python asyncio coroutines.
