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.

  • Drop support for Python 3.6
  • Support Python 3.10 and 3.11
  • Include response body in exception for non-200 response codes
