Transport API

[yeraydiazdiaz]

Closes #768

I did some dispatch > transport renaming but did not rename the _dispatch package and the *Dispatch classes in it. I considered renaming the package to _transports and all classes to *Transport with *Dispatch aliases but thought it might be better to check first.

Edit: Pipelines failed for some reason so I went for it while I gave GH actions some time to sort themselves out.

Hmmm, not sure what's going on here, all checks are "cancelled" and there's no log at all so I guess I'll try again later 🤷‍♂️

Fab yup! A few notes. Looking great. 👍

Looks like a linter failure on import sorting... https://github.com/encode/httpx/pull/963/checks?check_run_id=693477366

Nice!

I assume the docs would need updating too - we're still using the Dispatch phrasing there as of the current state of this PR. Do we want to update it in this PR or as a follow-up?

Probably best to change the docs now, there's quite a few code snippets using Dispatch as well.

I'm happy with this whenever you are! Fantastic bit of work and really keen to see this land!

[tomchristie]

Great, once everyone's happy let's get this in as it is.

Couple of follow ups I can think of, which I'll open individual issues for.

Docs now updated.
