Python Requests: Don't wait for request to finish -

in bash, possible execute command in background appending &. how can in python?

while true:     data = raw_input('enter something: ')      requests.post(url, data=data) # don't wait finish.     print('sending post request...') # should appear immediately. 

i use multiprocessing.dummy.pool. create singleton thread pool @ module level, , use pool.apply_async(requests.get, [params]) launch task.

this command gives me future, can add list other futures indefinitely until i'd collect or of results.

multiprocessing.dummy.pool is, against logic , reason, thread pool , not process pool.

example (works in both python 2 , 3, long requests installed):

from multiprocessing.dummy import pool  import requests  pool = pool(10) # creates pool ten threads; more threads = more concurrency.                 # "pool" module attribute; can sure there                 # 1 of them in application                 # modules cached after initialization.  if __name__ == '__main__':     futures = []     x in range(10):         futures.append(pool.apply_async(requests.get, ['http://example.com/']))     # futures list of 10 futures.     future in futures:         print(future.get()) # each future, wait until request                             # finished , print response object. 

the requests executed concurrently, running ten of these requests should take no longer longest one. strategy use 1 cpu core, shouldn't issue because of time spent waiting i/o.
