A small add-on for the Python requests library that returns concurrent.futures Futures instead of blocking Response objects, enabling asynchronous HTTP requests with a minimal API change. It wraps requests.Session with a FuturesSession backed by a ThreadPoolExecutor (or ProcessPoolExecutor).

Use cases

• make parallel http requests in python
• fetch multiple urls concurrently with requests
• convert blocking requests code to async without rewriting
• scrape many pages at the same time
• call several apis in parallel and collect results
• limit concurrent http requests with a thread pool

When to choose

• you already use requests and want concurrency with minimal code changes
• you need simple thread-based parallelism rather than full asyncio
• you want to keep the familiar requests.Session API

When to avoid

• you need high-concurrency async I/O at scale (use httpx or aiohttp with asyncio)
• you need HTTP/2 or advanced async features
• you are not using the requests ecosystem
