|
| 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"',

|
| 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>'
