Requests Session Overwriting and cookie jar

[muzikman]

Greetings,

I have two questions in regards to the code below, I will make note of them inside the code itself.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

session = requests.Session()   # 1. I assign a session to the session variable but below, I re-assign a session.request to the session variable. Does this overwrite the initial session object? # should I define a new variable? #2. I need to send and receive cookies or cookie jar on each request. See below.       BASE_URL = "https://www.homeadvisor.com/c.Flooring-Carpet.Dallas.TX.-12032.html"   def get_html(session, BASE_URL, PAGE):       try:         # How do I receive and send cookies with each request? I've researched it but the first time you enter a site, their aren't any cookies to be sent.           PARAMS = {"startingIndex": PAGE}         session = session.get(BASE_URL, headers=HEADERS, params=PARAMS)   # Is it considered good practice to re-assign this to the session variable?                    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:         print("Failed to connect to host: " + BASE_URL)         exit(             "Check your internet connection. Then try to open the URL in a web browser. Program exiting."         )         exit("Could not establish connection to host. Terminating program!")       return session

Thank you
