Python 3.10 has a brand new feature that will make your life as a developer so much easier (or at least less frustrating). Say hello to HTTPS connection support!
That’s right, no more fumbling around with SSL certificates and trying to figure out why your code isn’t working. With this new addition, you can simply write some basic Python code and voila! Your data is securely transmitted over the internet using HTTPS protocol.
This feature also comes equipped with a handy-dandy error message that tells you exactly what went wrong if something doesn’t work as expected (which let’s be real, it probably won’t). No longer will you have to spend hours debugging your code and wondering why the ***** it isn’t working.
So how does this magical new feature actually work? Well, let me break it down for you in simple terms: when you make a request using HTTPS protocol (which is what most websites use these days), Python 3.10 automatically takes care of all the SSL certificate stuff behind the scenes. No more messing around with certificates or trying to figure out which one to use just write your code and let Python handle the rest!
But don’t take our word for it, here’s an example:
# Import the requests library, which allows us to make HTTP requests
import requests
# Define the URL we want to make a request to
url = 'https://www.example.com'
# Use the requests library to make a GET request to the specified URL
response = requests.get(url)
# Print the content of the response, which will be the HTML of the webpage
print(response.content)
That’s it! You can now rest easy knowing that your data is securely transmitted over the internet using HTTPS protocol, without having to worry about any of the technical details. And if something goes wrong (which let’s be real, it probably will), Python 3.10 has got you covered with a helpful error message.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give this new feature a try! Your data deserves better protection than whatever you were using before.
