> I'd love to see the look on some of these people's faces when they find out that tool/software/whatever they use is actually using libcurl under the hood.

AFAIK the "requests" module in python (the most popular one) doesn't actually depend on curl:

Ask HN: How do you become a better Python developer? | Feb 2023

I’d find some GitHub repositories of popular libraries that are known to be well written and look through their code.

I believe this was a good one back in my day. https://github.com/psf/requests

This is a very interesting question.

Are you interested in any particular languages?

For Python, take a look at: https://github.com/psf/requests

It looks like requests is now owned by PSF. https://github.com/psf/requests

But IDK why requests3 wasn't transferred as well, and why issues appear to be disabled on the repo now.

The docs reference a timeout arg (that appears to default to the socket default timeout) for connect and/or read https://3.python-requests.org/user/advanced/#timeouts

And the tests reference a timeout argument. If that doesn't work, I wonder how much work it would be to send a PR (instead of just talking s to Ken and not contributing any code)
