============
Python 3.9+

``pip install w3lib``
Tests
=====
:doc:`pytest <pytest:index>` is the preferred way to run tests. Just run:
``pytest`` from the root directory to execute tests using the default Python
interpreter.
:doc:`tox <tox:index>` could be used to run tests for all supported Python
versions. Install it (using 'pip install tox') and then run ``tox`` from
the root directory - tests will be executed for all available
Python interpreters.

History
-------
The code of w3lib was originally part of the :doc:`Scrapy framework
<scrapy:index>` but was later stripped out of Scrapy, with the aim of make it
more reusable and to provide a useful library of web functions without
depending on Scrapy.
