Support for Python requests?

Is the Python requests package supported natively? If so how do I import it and use it?

Ahh ok, must resolve the package at runtime as it is a python package with a python C backend, it would be interesting to see mojo’s own implantation of networking

Yep it works, if you're getting an error you might have to add where requests is located to your path, e.g. I created a venv here:

python -m venv .env
.env/bin/activate
pip install requests

python -m venv .env
.env/bin/activate
pip install requests

Then you can run this:

from python import Python


fn main() raises:
    Python.add_to_path(".env/lib/python3.11/site-packages")
    let requests = Python.import_module("requests")
    let response = requests.get("https://google.com")
    print(response.text)

from python import Python


fn main() raises:
    Python.add_to_path(".env/lib/python3.11/site-packages")
    let requests = Python.import_module("requests")
    let response = requests.get("https://google.com")
    print(response.text)

this should work as well:

from python import Python

fn main():
    try:
        let req = Python.import_module("requests")
        let response = req.request("GET", "http://xyz:123/abc")
        print(response.text)
    except ImportError:
        print("Please install requests module")

from python import Python

fn main():
    try:
        let req = Python.import_module("requests")
        let response = req.request("GET", "http://xyz:123/abc")
        print(response.text)
    except ImportError:
        print("Please install requests module")
