Show HN: Pyreqwest – Powerful and fast Rust-reqwest based HTTP client for Python

Python has lacked a batteries-included HTTP library that would have both async and sync clients. Httpx (httpcore), which has offered this, is unfortunately pretty much unmaintained and suffering from huge perf issues (https://github.com/encode/httpx/issues/3215).

I built pyreqwest HTTP client for Python that is fully Rust based on top of reqwest. It includes all features reqwest offers plus some more. Also including unit testing utilities (mocking, ASGI app support). Go check https://github.com/MarkusSintonen/pyreqwest :)
