@canterberry A fun project for sure 👍 but also there are plenty of robust third-party HTTP and networking libraries. I sometimes wonder about whether it'd make sense for one of them to be in the standard library. No doubt it'd be useful, but they tend to be quite complex.... 🤷
I've spent the past couple of days refreshing my #Python. Happy to say, it's like riding a bike!
It's bothered me that, despite its prevalence in web-facing software, Python's standard library HTTP implementation is shoddy and half-baked.
Don't just take my word for it. The official docs openly admit to being unsuitable for production.
So I figured it might be a fun project to rewrite it. Thus, HT2P is born.

It should go without saying, but please don't use this in a high-stakes scenario, yet. I only just started on it yesterday.
I really don’t see the value in swapping from the venv/pip modules in favor of any of the other tools that have popped up in recent years.
Make a virtual environment, use it, install packages optionally from a manifest. Any orchestration around this is done with a #makefile and module metadata is handled by distutils setup.py
My mindset in general is to use or try whatever tools are builtin (to anything) before going to external tools.

Malicious PyPI Packages Deliver SilentSync RAT
Two malicious Python packages, sisaws and secmeasure, were discovered in the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository. These packages, created by the same author, deliver a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) called SilentSync. The RAT is capable of remote command execution, file exfiltration, screen capturing, and web browser data theft. It specifically targets Windows systems and communicates with a command-and-control server using HTTP. The packages use typosquatting and mimic legitimate packages to deceive users. SilentSync achieves persistence through platform-specific techniques and can harvest browser data, execute shell commands, capture screenshots, and steal files. This discovery highlights the growing risk of supply chain attacks within public software repositories.

I've gotta say, I really love #Python. It's a joy to write, and it works for so many purposes. I'm starting to run up against some performance issues, but having worked on this project for nearly a year now it feels like a really solid base for pulling out some performance-critical stuff to another language.
I especially enjoy generators and generator expressions.
