A simple wrapper around requests to make calls asynchronous.
>>> async_r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))
>>> r = async_r.get() # This will then block so add time before to prevent blocking
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'application/json; charset=utf8'
>>> r.encoding
'utf-8'
>>> r.text
u'{"type":"User"...'
>>> r.json()
