title: How to extract HTTP response body from a Python requests call?
body: <p>I'm using the Python requests library. I'm trying to figure out how to extract the actual HTML body from a response. The code looks a bit like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>r = requests.get(...)
  print r.content
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This should indeed print lots of content, but instead prints nothing.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? Maybe I've misunderstood how requests.get() works?</p>
