https://github.com/pallets/flask and https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests

both in python, but beautiful code, well structured and you would not need any docs, just read the code

discuss

order

I don't want to take anything away from requests. It's an extremely useful library. However, I do a code walkthrough of various popular libraries with my students and I've never been satisfied with requests internals. The emphasis, I've felt, is more on clean, stable, public API rather than internal consistency and cleanliness. I don't pick it up these days for my classes. Instead, we usually go through the python standard library. Especially the code from Raymond Hettinger.

that sounds like a class I would love to take. any suggestions on what in the standard library to check out?

Flask is absolutely beautiful; definitely agree with reading through it.
