Description

I think a lot of boilerplate code could be removed from the python codegen if we used the requests lib. Moreover, bringing oauth2 support would be easy with requests-oauthlib

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the Python client templates in the codegen and modify them to use the requests library instead of the current boilerplate approach. Also consider integrating requests oauthlib for OAuth2 support.
