Not working utorent - request module about htpc-manager HOT 5 CLOSED

@qgerome I am pretty sure the use of the request module can be replaced by the urllib and urllib2 modules.

from htpc-manager.

Of course it's possible. Requests is way better than urllib but I can change the code to use the builtin module...

I would like the setup for Htpc Manager to be as easy as possible so you don't need to be a python expert to get it running. I already wrote some (complex?) install guides for different OS's. Using built-in methods is preferred because is does not require any extra steps when installing python. The more dependencies there are, the more complicated the setup is and less people will start using it.

If you could change to utorrent module so it uses urllib or urllib2 a lot of users will be very thankfull.

I don't agree with you on that point because :

1. For me, a dev has to use the more dev-friendly library. In this case requests is far better than urllib
2. It doesn't change anything for the endusers if you have a good setup script

But I'll do the changes when I'll have time (May take several days) ;)

I think this is now fixed? Closing the issue.
