As per the title: a retrospective of requests.

Possibly killer quote: "After receiving our first security disclosure, I was told that Requests wasn't a serious project but instead one person's art project and thus we shouldn't fix the vulnerability. This was despite the project being touted as being used by multiple international government agencies, political campaigns, and boasting about it's #1 download spot on PyPI. So when I say it might be artful, I'm trying to take a neutral stance on what is art and what isn't art and whether the internals of Requests are actually beautiful art."

An implementation of Emacs Lisp's defadvice, for Python.

Sadly thr library itself is very old (14 years old at the time of recording this), and only for Python 2. There is, however, a PR in the repo that makes it work with Python 3.
