Excellent news — thanks to urllib3, keep-alive is 100% automatic within a session! Any requests that you make within a session will automatically reuse the appropriate connection!
+Note that connections are only released back to the pool for reuse once all body data has been read; be sure to either set ``prefetch`` to ``True`` or read the ``content`` property of the ``Response`` object.
+
If you'd like to disable keep-alive, you can simply set the ``keep_alive`` configuration to ``False``::
s = requests.session()
