You’ve built a functional site connectivity checker application in Python. Now you know the basics of handling HTTP requests to a given website. You also learned how to create a minimal yet functional command-line interface (CLI) for your application and how to organize a real-world Python project. Additionally, you’ve tried out Python’s asynchronous features.

In this video course, you learned how to:

Create command-line interfaces (CLI) in Python with argparse
Check if a website is online using Python’s http.client
Run synchronous checks on multiple websites
Check if a website is online using aiohttp
Check the connectivity of multiple websites asynchronously

Now that you’ve finished building your site connectivity checker application, you can go a step further by implementing a few additional features. Adding new features by yourself will push you to learn about new and exciting coding concepts and topics.

Here are some ideas for new features:

00:00 Summary. Well done, you’ve made it to the end of the course. In it, you’ve built a functional site connectivity checker application in Python. Now you know the basics of handling HTTP requests to a given website.

00:16 You also learned how to create a minimal yet functional command-line interface for your application and how to organize a real-world Python project.

00:25 Additionally, you tried out Python asynchronous features. In this course, you’ve learned how to create command-line interfaces in Python with APIs, check if a website is online using Python http.client, run synchronous checks on multiple websites, check if a website is online using aiohttp, and check the connectivity of multiple websites asynchronously.

00:53 With this foundation, you’re ready to continue leveling up your skills by creating more complex command-line applications. You’re also better prepared to continue learning about HTTP requests with Python. We hope you found this course useful, and we’ll see you again soon at realpython.com.
