Talk at PyAmsterdam on httpxyz

On Wednesday 29th of April 2026 I will be giving a lightning talk on our new fork of the popular python package httpx called httpxyz at PyAmsterdam. httpx is a top-100 Python package for sending http requests but has not had a release since end of 2024, plus, recently all issues were set to hidden and all discussions are closed. httpxyz is our friendly fork with lots of fixes for serious and more niche issues. Read for more info my announcement post for httpxyz. I will talk about why we did the fork and how we approach it. The event is fully booked and there is a wait list.

As the organizer of Python Leiden, I am happy to be checking out another Python meetup group.

Plus, I’m excited to be giving a talk on HTTPXYZ; my first blog post about it got a lot of views on Hacker News but not (yet) so much adoption in real life, and we definitely need to “spread the word” more.

I look forward to giving my talk & see you there!
