What do you like best about urllib3?

It's like urllib2 but with some API changes. Takes a bit of time to get used to, but it's not much different from what you are used to with urllib2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about urllib3?

I wish urllib2 code would 100% port over to urllib3. It's annoying that I need to go refactor a lot of my code because urllib3 moved methods around or re-named methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is urllib3 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm just trying to use it to load web pages and pull down content from the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
