Request: making requests adapters

[jamesbraza]

httpx didn't maintain compatibility with requests, which is fine most of the time.

However sometimes when a third party library assumes requests-style interfaces (e.g. googleapis/google-resumable-media-python#440), it's nice to be able to mask httpx.Responses to look like requests.Responses.

To do so, I made a wrapper class that looks something like this:

import httpx


class RequestsLikeHTTPXStreamingResponse:
    """
    Wrapper that converts a httpx.Response to look like a streamable requests.Response.

    SEE: https://www.python-httpx.org/compatibility/#streaming-responses
    """

    def __init__(self, response: httpx.Response):
        self.response = response

    def __getattr__(self, name: str):
        return getattr(self.response, name)

    def iter_content(self, chunk_size: int = 1, decode_unicode: bool = False):
        if decode_unicode:
            return self.response.iter_text(chunk_size)
        return self.response.iter_bytes(chunk_size)

    @property
    def raw(self):
        return self.response

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, *_) -> None:
        self.response.close()

Do you think httpx can officially support adapters/wrappers between the two libraries?
