You're welcome. I thought I'd aggregate all the useful tricks I'd found while working on my last project. It's a collection of snippets I had found in the docs and in Github issues.

The post contains the most important snippets, but you might find the advanced section of the requests docs [1] useful and the requests_toolbelt [2].
