I would been pleased to see this project named something else, maybe “httpx-ng” or “httpy” as I immediately link “http*2” with the obsolete http/2 protocol and not the httpx project.

I agree, the brain built in error correction makes it harder to read

People should be aware how much worse HTTPX performs versus Aiohttp. For high scale systems it makes a massive difference

pyreqwest has been delightful so far: https://github.com/MarkusSintonen/pyreqwest

It's been a pleasure to use, has a httpx compatibility layer, and it's fast (https://github.com/MarkusSintonen/pyreqwest/blob/main/docs/b...)

By what definition is HTTP/2 considered obsolete? Are you suggesting it's been supplanted by H3?

(FWIW I agree w/ your objection to the "httpx2" name.)

httpy is actually twofold cool for a Python HTTP client!
