Python: How to make multiple HTTP POST queries in one moment?

Question

How to make multiple HTTP POST queries in one moment using Python?

Using an external library with an example can be a good solution.

Define 'one moment', I don't think that term exists in modern computing... :X — Sleepingrock, Feb 14 '10 at 12:35
Given your comment to Sleepingrock's question I think you need to make the question clearer — mmmmmm, Feb 14 '10 at 13:30

External lib? Maybe an internal one would do the trick...

http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html#examples

specifically:

params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})

If you wanted to process multiple HTTP POST queries (asynchronous) you could cycle through them in a loop, opening subprocesses using subprocess.Popen. Although a better solution would probably be asyncore. This site has an example of using asyncore for http requests (like POST).

No. It's synchronous request. While it process, app need to wait for continue next request – Setti Feb 14 '10 at 12:48
So you want asynchronous POST requests in Python? – Paul D. Waite Feb 14 '10 at 13:11
Yes, asynchronous POST requests – Setti Feb 16 '10 at 11:13

You should consider using threading (or maybe multiprocessing, but here the GIL is not a problem) to enable concurrent execution.

Asyncore is primarily threading for sockets. It would be easier to implement in this case. – Sleepingrock Feb 14 '10 at 14:08
