TBH I don't see myself using this package: in its current stage it is very little code, and almost every method has an issue either with edge cases or with API; also, it is tied to requests library, unnecessarily IMHO, and in my opinion it is GPL even if setup.py says it is MIT.

Because there is nothing usable code-wise in requests-html from my point of view (it is no better than existing alternatives), I don't feel like raising these issues, advocating for fixing them, discussing alternative solutions with a goal of improving requests-html. Of course, everyone is free to raise these issues in a repo.

I appreciate the work put into requests-html API design, the design is very nice overall. This might be a way to go: create a nice API design, attract people, fix implementation over time, but this battle is not mine, sorry :(
