Description:
 def request( self, url, params=None, data=None, headers=None, timeout=None, auth=None, cookiejar=None, ):
 """ Make a request to a url and retrieve the results. If the headers parameter does not provide an 'User-Agent' key, one will be added automatically following the convention: py3status/<version> <per session random uuid> :param url: url to request eg `http://example.com` :param params: extra query string parameters as a dict :param data: POST data as a dict. If this is not supplied the GET method will be used :param headers: http headers to be added to the request as a dict :param timeout: timeout for the request in seconds :param auth: authentication info as tuple `(username, password)` :param cookiejar: an object of a CookieJar subclass :returns: HttpResponse """


        # The aim of this function is to be a limited lightweight replacement
        # for the requests library but using only pythons standard libs.

        # IMPORTANT NOTICE
        # This function is excluded from private variable hiding as it is
        # likely to need api keys etc which people may have obfuscated.
        # Therefore it is important that no logging is done in this function
        # that might reveal this information.

            headers = {}

        if timeout is None:
            timeout = getattr(self._py3status_module, "request_timeout", 10)

        if "User-Agent" not in headers:
