TL;DR

The http.client module provides low-level HTTP protocol client functionality, but Python’s documentation recommends using the third-party Requests library instead for higher-level HTTP operations. Requests offers automatic connection pooling, elegant API design, and handles the complexities that make http.client fiddly to use directly.

TL;DR

The urllib package provides URL handling through four submodules: request (fetch URLs), parse (manipulate URLs), error (exceptions), and robotparser (robots.txt).

Interesting!

Unlike many languages that require external libraries, Python includes full-featured HTTP client capabilities right in the standard library!
