Hi,
Considering the royally passed deadline for talks, I'm wondering if any
time will be allotted to planned BoF or similar sessions? I'm aware of
the availability of open space and/or lightning talks, but we're sort of
looking for a little more than that.
I'm asking this because the reason for showing up at EuroPython has just
recently (i.e. last week) manifested itself. Giving a talk would have
been the first option, but again, that deadline seems to have passed
already. I did notice the e-mail from this morning, but I'm afraid we
won't be able to write up an abstract that fast.
Also, considering that we're looking to hold an interactive discussion
rather than a one-way monologue, a talk may not be the most suitable
medium anyway.
Still, to give an idea of what I'm talking about, here's a quick synopsis:
The current functionality of the Python standard library in
supporting the client side of HTTP communication is rather
rudimentary (`httplib`, `http.client` in Python3 and `urllib2`).
Furthermore, we are not aware that any external libraries exist
that support our use cases. Via an introductory talk and further
discussion, we hope to be able to define a roadmap for the future
of HTTP clients written in Python. First, we will define our
requirements, then we will explain the shortcomings of both the
internal and external solutions, and finally, we hope to create a
lively discussion about the future of HTTP clients.
