Requests has decided to deprecate some utility functions in requests.utils. To ease users’ lives, they’ve been moved to requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.

A collection of functions deprecated in requests.utils.

requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.find_charset(string, pos=0, endpos=9223372036854775807)

Return a list of all non-overlapping matches of pattern in string.

requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.find_pragma(string, pos=0, endpos=9223372036854775807)

requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.find_xml(string, pos=0, endpos=9223372036854775807)

requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.get_encodings_from_content(content)

Return encodings from given content string.

import requests
from requests_toolbelt.utils import deprecated

r = requests.get(url)
encodings = deprecated.get_encodings_from_content(r)

Parameters

content (bytes) – bytestring to extract encodings from

Return type

requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.get_unicode_from_response(response)

This will first attempt to retrieve the encoding from the response headers. If that fails, it will use requests_toolbelt.utils.deprecated.get_encodings_from_content() to determine encodings from HTML elements.

import requests
from requests_toolbelt.utils import deprecated

r = requests.get(url)
text = deprecated.get_unicode_from_response(r)

Parameters

response (requests.models.Response) – Response object to get unicode content from.
