FRequests allows you to use Requests with futures to make asyncronous HTTP Requests easily. If you're using Python 3.X you will have no external dependencies except for requests. On Python 2.X you will need futures from PyPI - a backport of concurrency.futures from Python 3.X. In either case you won't have to deal with the problems caused by gevents monkey_patching. As frequests is thread based, i think it's slower than grequests that is based on gevent. But frequests is meant to be an easy to use solution that just works, not causing you any headakes and should be 'fast enough' in the most cases.
Usage is simple:
import frequests
urls = [
'http://www.heroku.com',
'http://tablib.org',
'http://httpbin.org',
'http://python-requests.org',
'http://kennethreitz.com'
]
Create a set of unsent Requests:
>>> rs = (frequests.get(u) for u in urls)
Send them all at the same time:
>>> frequests.map(rs) [<Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>]
Installation is easy with pip:
$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/i-trofimtschuk/frequests.git#egg=frequests
