.. module:: requests.models Binary Response Content ----------------------- You can also access the response body as bytes, for non-text requests:: >>> r.content b'[{"repository":{"open_issues":0,"url":"https://github.com/... The ``gzip`` and ``deflate`` transfer-encodings are automatically decoded for you. For example, to create an image from binary data returned by a request, you can use the following code:: >>> from PIL import Image >>> from io import BytesIO >>> i = Image.open(BytesIO(r.content))
