httpx v0.12.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-05 // about 4 years ago

  • 🚀 The 0.12 release tightens up the API expectations for httpx by switching to private module names to enforce better clarity around public API.

    📦 All imports of httpx should import from the top-level package only, such as from httpx import Request, rather than importing from privately namespaced modules such as from httpx._models import Request.
