Using requests with PyScript

Python on the browser is a little different than standard CPython running on a local system due to how the web (browsers) work. For this reason requests (and other libraries that work via sockets) don't work out of the box. :(

Luckily, there's a quick fix for it!

Thanks to github user koenvo and their package pyodide-http we can now easily "patch" requests and make it work. All we need to do is add the following commands to our python code:

import pyodide_http
pyodide_http.patch_all()

After that, all we need to do is just use requests as usual.
