[issue44908] recommend httpx as well as requests in http.client/urllib.request docs

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

The problem with linking anything is that it inspires requests like this.  We 
don't hand out links like candy. I think the intent was to maybe link one 
package if in some sense the standard alternative.  I don't know the protocol 
for adding more.  Likely some usage stats are needed.  You might ask on 
python-list or python-ideas.  There is no current http-expert to handle this 
one.

[issue44908] recommend httpx as well as requests in http.client/urllib.request docs

[Thomas Grainger]

New submission from Thomas Grainger :

HTTPX is a fully featured HTTP client for Python 3, which provides sync and 
async APIs, and support for both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.

It's also broadly compatible and inspired by the requests API: 
https://github.com/encode/httpx/blob/master/docs/compatibility.md#requests-compatibility-guide


Currently the project is looking to get a link from the docs to 
https://www.python-httpx.org/

here's the upstream issue https://github.com/encode/httpx/issues/1772
