[issue2848] Remove mimetools usage from the stdlib

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

One idea:  in http.client.HTTPMessage, inherit from email.Message, 
modify the addheaders/addcontinue/readheaders methods to use the 
methods in Message.   Then, change the instantiation in HTTPResponse to 
self.msg = email.parser.Parser(_class=HTTPMessage).parsestr(io.BytesIO
()).  

Something similar may apply to pydoc.  FYI, I believe there is a 
pending discussion about whether to keep pydoc in Py3.0.
