Warning
You should work on this exercise with your own installation of Python, on your computer. Learn how for Mac OSX or Windows.
This is a short introduction to
requests, a Python
module that make grabbing content from the web quite easy.
Requests is NOT in the python distribution, but is installed in HackInScience.
To install it on your machine, use: python3 -m pip install requests.
Now, your exercice will just have to
GET
the content of the page https://api.github.com/users/python, and
print it.
In case your computer is not connected to the internet, your program
should simply print No internet connectivity. on the standard output.
Beware: requests will raise an exception if there's no internet connectivity, and I will test this case!
