better-requests
better-requests is a thin wrapper around python's requests library which allows for global defaults.
Simply import requests from better_requests:
from better_requests import requests
requests.get('/foo')
Connection timeout and read timeout for the underlaying urllib library can be defined by setting
the following environment variables:
REQUESTS_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT=0.5 REQUESTS_READ_TIMEOUT=0.5
More fine-grained control for the timeout of the different http verbs is awailable through these environment variables:
REQUESTS_GET_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_GET_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_OPTIONS_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_OPTIONS_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_HEAD_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_HEAD_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_POST_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_POST_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_PUT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_PUT_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_PATCH_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_PATCH_READ_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_DELETE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT REQUESTS_DELETE_READ_TIMEOUT
Development
To run all tests use:
$ python setup.py test
