The Python API example looks like it has been written by an LLM. You don't need to import json, you don't need to set the content type and it is good practice to use context managers ("with" statement) to release the connection in case of exceptions. Also, you don't gain anything by commenting variables with the name of the variable. The following sample (probably) does the same thing and is almost half as short. I h…

`post` automatically releases the connection. `with` only makes sense when you use a `requests.Session()`.

The logo is fairly evocative of the SS insignia.

To explain in the clearest terms: unlike the SS insignia, the lightning bolt in the logo has tapering at the bottom. The second element in the logo, the slash, does not have tapering at the bottom. The general shape of the logo is the same as the SS insignia: two diagonal elements side-by-side (which would be all good on its own). The mind tends to see repetition, so it has a tendency to "mix up" the two elements of the logo. The mind also has a tendency to remember similar things. Putting it all together, the logo has a chance to evoke the SS insignia.

I may just be reading too much Theweleit and W. Reich nowadays, but I think you'll get catch some flak for this logo if it becomes recognizable outside the tech milieu.

Thanks for the feedback-- I can say emphatically, that's not our intention in the least. We chose a lightning bolt to evoke speed, i.e., the "hyper" in Hypermode. I've asked design to take another look at the "H" logo.

Thanks so much for replying. I didn't think it was your intention at all.

You are right! https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/c65c780849563c891f35ffc...

The post function calls request the request function which uses its own context manager that will call the close function of the connection object.
