This week's email talks about the recently released requests v2.0.
(Hopefully @OMZ will give us access to that in Pythonista vNext).

If you are manipulating webpages in Pythonista without using requests and beautifulsoup, do yourself a favor and check them out at http://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios

This week's installment discusses, among other things, the release of Pillow v2.2.1. http://blog.aclark.net/2013/10/03/pillow-221-released

Pillow is the plug compatible replacement for PIL which is part of Pythonista. There have been no PIL updates for 4 years so Pillow was created as a "friendly" fork to deliver similar or improved functionality, documentation, and bug fixes and supports both Python 2 and 3.

Hopefully a future Pythonista will swap out PIL in favor of Pillow.
