Ask HN: The one true library for asynchronous Python requests?

By my count, I see: * txrequests: https://github.com/tardyp/txrequests * requests-futures: https://github.com/ross/requests-futures * requests-twisted: https://github.com/sametmax/requests-twisted * requests-threads: https://github.com/requests/requests-threads * grequests: https://github.com/kennethreitz/grequests Any criteria to gauge which one is likely to be the standard? Github stars is one measure, but it doesn't indicate current/future development and support. Anyone use any of these -- pros and cons? Trying to decide which one to use for a project.

Very poorly named given Requests has a branch using Gevent that's already called grequests. https://github.com/kennethreitz/grequests

100% agree on this one. Probably the only thing that immediately appealed to me for this project's python version was the integrated asynchronous requests capability. With version v0.13.0+ of python-requests, async functionality was split out by the maintainer to https://github.com/kennethreitz/grequests (and it's a light wrapper over requests + gevent).
