Does python httplib allow persistent connection?

Question
As I read the sample code, I first need to open and connection
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(server)
and then I can send multiple requests without making a new connection:
conn.request(...)
So does it mean that I have a persistent connection ? Or httplib will make a new connection every request ? How to ensure a persistent connection with httplib ?
Solution
No. Your best bet is httplib2.
OTHER TIPS
Yes, the connection is persistent, assuming the server supports it. In the first example, you can verify that the connection sock attribute is reused. Note the response has to be closed, e.g. read(), each time as well.
