I've recently updated an internal tool which basically acts as a configuration and dependency/context manager for performing hundreds of api calls. I added an httpx backend (to test vs the current urllib3 backend) and also introduced an async API (httpx as well). However, from your benchmarks it seems like I should've went with aiohttp for faster async? I will work on integrating pyreqwest as well

Yes httpx is badly broken. Eg its connection pooling implementation is not great at all. There are various issues in httpx/httpcore. There are also old open PRs trying to fix issues but maintainer(s) are just not intrested.

Good to know, will be interesting when we run our tests. Thanks for the info and for your work on pyreqwest, looks very promising

That sounds awesome. But I have two curiosities: What are the problems of httpx? And was pycurl not enough for what you wanted to do?
reply
Httpx/httpcore are abandoned and their connection pooling etc implementations are completely broken https://github.com/encode/httpx/issues/3215 Many PRs trying to fix varying issues https://github.com/encode/httpcore/pulls But maintainer(s) are not intrested in fixing any of the issues.

pycurl doesnt support async, right?
