1 httplib2 for Python 3 2 3 This directory contains a port of httplib2 to Python 3. As you may 4 know, Python 3 is not backward-compatible with Python 2. The biggest 5 change in Python 3 (that affects httplib2) is the distinction between 6 bytes and strings. 7 8 To successfully use http2lib for Python 3, you absolutely must 9 understand the following sentence: 10 11 ** THE RESPONSE HEADERS ARE STRINGS, BUT THE CONTENT BODY IS BYTES ** 12 13 14 Example: 15 16 >>> import httplib2, pprint 17 >>> h = httplib2.Http(".cache") 18 >>> (resp_headers, content) = h.request("http://example.org/", "GET") 19 >>> pprint.pprint(resp_headers) 20 {'accept-ranges': 'bytes', 21 'connection': 'close', 22 'content-length': '438', 23 'content-location': 'http://example.org/', 24 'content-type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8', 25 'date': 'Fri, 29 May 2009 03:57:29 GMT', 26 'etag': '"b80f4-1b6-80bfd280"', 27 'last-modified': 'Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:24:10 GMT', 28 'server': 'Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)', 29 'status': '200'} 30 >>> type(content) 31 <class 'bytes'> 32 >>> content[:49] 33 b'<HTML>\r\n<HEAD>\r\n <TITLE>Example Web Page</TITLE>' 34 35 36 Further reading: 37 38 * http://diveintopython3.org/strings.html 39 * http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#text-vs-data-instead-of-unicode-vs-8-bit 40 * http://docs.python.org/3.0/howto/unicode.html 41 42 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 44 Httplib2 Software License 45 46 Copyright (c) 2006 by Joe Gregorio 47 Copyright (c) 2009 by Mark Pilgrim 48 49 Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person 50 obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation 51 files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, 52 including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, 53 publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, 54 and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, 55 subject to the following conditions: 56 57 The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be 58 included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. 59 60 THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, 61 EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES 62 OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND 63 NONINFRINGEMENT.
