[Python-ideas] requests in the stdlib?

[Matěj Cepl]

Afternoon (or whatever else), gentlemen and gentle ladies!

I guess I am not the first one who experienced a profound 
life-changing epiphany of meeting with the requests package.  
Yesterday after fighting for hours with urllib2 (and GitHub API) 
and failing, I have succeeded with requests in five minutes.  

Despite how much I dislike using libraries outside of the stdlib 
(yes, unittest is the way to go, please, no nosetests and 
py.test for me), I am now persuaded that requests API is the 
best thing since ... I don't know, API of feedparser (RIP, Aaron 
Swartz)?

So, I guess, somebody had to already suggest pulling requests 
into stdlib. Could somebody here point me to the resulting 
discussion, please?

Thank you,

Matěj Cepl
