This page compares the source lines of code (SLOC) of psf/requests and encode/httpx using cached OctoCounts reports. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.
As of 2026-08-26, psf/requests contains 8,942 total lines (5,288 code) across 29 files, while encode/httpx contains 10,443 total lines (7,552 code) across 36 files as of 2026-08-26. encode/httpx is about 1.4x the size of psf/requests by code lines. Code size is not code quality: a larger count only means more source material, not a better or worse project.

Top languages in psf/requests: Python (93.6% of code), ReStructuredText (3.6% of code), TOML (2.0% of code). Top languages in encode/httpx: Python (96.8% of code), TOML (1.5% of code), Shell (1.0% of code). Python, TOML appear in both top language lists; ReStructuredText, Makefile, INI appear only in psf/requests's top languages; Shell, YAML, Markdown appear only in encode/httpx's top languages.
Methodology: both counts come from cached OctoCounts reports generated with tokei. psf/requests was counted at ref main (commit 5460f467b02e) on 2026-08-26; encode/httpx was counted at ref master (commit b5addb64f016) on 2026-08-26. See the counting methodology for ignored directories and analysis options.
Evidence and next steps:
Note: code size is not code quality. OctoCounts only reports reproducible line counts and makes no claim that either project is better.
encode/httpx has more code: 7,552 code lines versus 5,288 for psf/requests, about 1.4x as much, based on cached OctoCounts reports as of 2026-08-26.
Not necessarily. SLOC measures size, not complexity, quality, or maintainability. A larger codebase can mean more features, more generated or vendored code, more verbose language idioms, or more tests — none of which imply the code is harder to work with. Use SLOC to gauge the scale of what you'd be reading or maintaining, not as a quality signal for psf/requests, encode/httpx, or any repository.
