FancyURLopener.version equivalence in requests

Question

Sometimes it's necessary to change the version attribute when retrieving a request using FancyURLopener, e.g.

from urllib.request import FancyURLopener

class NewOpener(FancyURLopener):
    version = 'Some fancy thing'

url = 'www.google.com'
opener = NewOpener.retrieve(url, 'google.html')

Is there an equivalence in the requests library when using requests.get()?

Answer 1

As @Sraw commented, the "version" is basically the user-agent file in the header, so

requests.get(url, headers={'User-agent': 'Some fancy thing'}
