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

Research direction
Examine the Python client templates in the swagger codegen repository, particularly the default HTTP client implementation. Review the requests library documentation to map current functionality. Check any related discussions or linked PRs for similar proposals. Provide a plan to replace the existing boilerplate with requests calls and optionally integrate requests oauthlib for OAuth2 support.
