requests库是python爬虫使用频率最高的库，在网络请求中发挥着重要的作用，这边文章浅析requests的ＡＰＩ源码。
该库文件结构如图：
提供的核心接口在__init__文件中，如下：
from . import utils from . import packages from .models import Request, Response, PreparedRequest from .api import request, get, head, post, patch, put, delete, options from .sessions import session, Session from .status_codes import codes from .exceptions import ( RequestException, Timeout, URLRequired, TooManyRedirects, HTTPError, ConnectionError, FileModeWarning, ConnectTimeout, ReadTimeout )
ｒｅｑｕｅｓｔｓ常用方法在api.py文件中，源码如下：

常用的get、post、put、optins、delete方法都在该文件中实现，这些方法都是使用内部封装的一个模块：request，而request是对session.request内部模块的封装，提供一个上下文管理。
继续看最为核心的session.request模块源码:
def request(self, method, url, ······· # Create the Request. req = Request( method=method.upper(), url=url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data or {}, json=json, params=params or {}, auth=auth, cookies=cookies, hooks=hooks, ) prep = self.prepare_request(req) proxies = proxies or {} settings = self.merge_environment_settings( prep.url, proxies, stream, verify, cert ) # Send the request. send_kwargs = { 'timeout': timeout, 'allow_redirects': allow_redirects, } send_kwargs.update(settings) resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) return resp
在这里提交过来的请求信息将组装成Request请求对象，并对其中的配置参数进行合并，然后将Request请求和配置参数发送给self.send，来请求下载，继续看self.send
def send(self, request, **kwargs): """Send a given PreparedRequest. :rtype: requests.Response """ # Set defaults that the hooks can utilize to ensure they always have # the correct parameters to reproduce the previous request. kwargs.setdefault('stream', self.stream) kwargs.setdefault('verify', self.verify) kwargs.setdefault('cert', self.cert) kwargs.setdefault('proxies', self.proxies) # It's possible that users might accidentally send a Request object. # Guard against that specific failure case. if isinstance(request, Request): raise ValueError('You can only send PreparedRequests.') # Set up variables needed for resolve_redirects and dispatching of hooks allow_redirects = kwargs.pop('allow_redirects', True) stream = kwargs.get('stream') hooks = request.hooks # Get the appropriate adapter to use adapter = self.get_adapter(url=request.url) # Start time (approximately) of the request start = preferred_clock() # Send the request r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) # Total elapsed time of the request (approximately) elapsed = preferred_clock() - start r.elapsed = timedelta(seconds=elapsed) # Response manipulation hooks r = dispatch_hook('response', hooks, r, **kwargs) # Persist cookies if r.history: # If the hooks create history then we want those cookies too for resp in r.history: extract_cookies_to_jar(self.cookies, resp.request, resp.raw) extract_cookies_to_jar(self.cookies, request, r.raw) # Redirect resolving generator. gen = self.resolve_redirects(r, request, **kwargs) # Resolve redirects if allowed. history = [resp for resp in gen] if allow_redirects else [] # Shuffle things around if there's history. if history: # Insert the first (original) request at the start history.insert(0, r) # Get the last request made r = history.pop() r.history = history # If redirects aren't being followed, store the response on the Request for Response.next(). if not allow_redirects: try: r._next = next(self.resolve_redirects(r, request, yield_requests=True, **kwargs)) except StopIteration: pass if not stream: r.content return r
当然在self.send中核心的是下面几行行代码：
# Start time (approximately) of the request start = preferred_clock() # Send the request r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) # Total elapsed time of the request (approximately) elapsed = preferred_clock() - start r.elapsed = timedelta(seconds=elapsed) # Response manipulation hooks r = dispatch_hook('response', hooks, r, **kwargs)

分别进行请求，并将请求响应内容构造成响应对象r,其中又引入本地模块adapter，该模块主要负责请求处理及其响应内容。
requests库实现很巧妙，对cookie保持、代理问题、SSL验证问题都做了处理，功能很全，其中细节不仔细去研读很难理解，这里只是对其实现过程做一个浅析，如果有感兴趣的同学，可以仔细研读每个模块和功能，其中有奥妙。
