Transcript
The HTTP client your whole stack leans on goes quiet. HTTPX2 is Pydantic's continuation of HTTPX, a next generation HTTP client for Python. It ships a requests-compatible API, HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 support, sync and async interfaces, plus an integrated command line client. Strict timeouts, streaming downloads, and WSGI or ASGI transports round it out, so requests code moves over nearly unchanged.
