Switch to Twisted from requests #104

Closed KingAkeem closed 6 years ago

KingAkeem commented 6 years ago

We're currently using requests, which is a synchronous HTTP library. One of our features, which retrieves links and tests if the link is reachable via HTTP/HTTPS is extremely slow due to this. Switching to Twisted, which is asynchronous should provide a speed up as well as give us the ability to take advantage of the async nature of Twisted.
