Objective
The objective is to explain the ease with which module like Python-Requests can be used in order to access web.
Description
The default modude for accessing web is urllib. However it is very tedious to access web using urllib/urllib2. Hence many people either get scared or just stop using Python for accessing web, inspite of the fact that accessing web using Python is not only simple but also helpful. However Python-Requests is not only a better option to access web. It is also easier to access and requires very short scripts. It can also be used to access to automate requests, getting the response, filling and submitting of forms, authentication. Hence accessing web using Python is now a simpler task
Requirements
Installation of Linux 11.04 or above.
Speaker bio
I am currently pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
I have learnt and have been using Python since the past two years. And I really like it. I had been using urllib for accessing web. However I now use Python-Requests. Hence I can clearly explain the differences between urllib/urllib2 and Python-Requests. I know how easy it is to use Requests. And also the importance of such a module.
