Talk at PyGrunn on httpxyz
On Friday 8th of May 2026 I will be giving a talk on our new fork of the popular python package httpx called httpxyz at PyGrunn. PyGrunn is a full day Python (“and friends”) conference in Groningen, The Netherlands. 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. I’ll also delve into how to build a performant API client in Python and technical details of HTTP.
This is an expanded version of the talk I gave at PyAmsterdam last week, and is part of my ‘promotion efforts’ for httpxyz. I look forward to giving my talk & see you there!
