> Wouldn't be nice to have requests in the main library? Yes, but changes are still made to it, it might not be updated for a long time then. As they say modules go to the standard library to die.

In fact, the plan is for there to be no further new features to requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/dev/todo/#feature-...

Oh interesting! Thanks for pointing that out.

I think requests module is one of the nice assets in Python, having it in the standard library would be a good move.
