+"""Optional Assignment: The Requests Library 
+Build a simple program that makes use of the requests module.
+
+In addition to including a lot of great features in the language itself, 
+there are many modules available for install via pip that are a lot of fun 
+to work with. We talked a little about pip before, so you should have the 
+basic idea that pip exists so that developers can use code other people have
+written.
+
+One of those code libraries is called requests. It allows you to make HTTP 
+requests from a python file and get back a useful response. This library is 
+a simple way to make requests to and get responses from a server without 
+having to set one up yourself. This might remind you a little of using AJAX 
+to interact with API's like you did in web fundamentals. Give it a try and 
+get creative with the data you try to get back.
+
+You'll have a much easier time if you install a virtual environment. Find 
+the instructions to do so here or from external resource.
+
+You'll find the documentation for requests here. We highly recommend trying 
+the code samples in the Quickstart Guide."""
