This is a fork of the aiohttp-sse-client project by Jason Hu. The motivations for the fork are:

  • Better error messages when the request fails (#190)

  • Update the library to support new Python versions

The fork will be retired if the upstream package comes back alive.

Fork changelog

  • 0.3.0 (February 7, 2023) * Drop support for Python 3.6 * Support Python 3.10 and 3.11 * Include response body in exception for non-200 response codes

Original README follows:
