I agree with that too. I think, any improvements which can made by external libraries, if they can be considered as can be good improvement in the stdlib, It's a good idea to push them in. I looked at the requests, I think that apis for various HTTP verbs is something interesting, I think web applications authors see some advantage there explicit GET / POST and sending specific options to those. That facility, if it can be brought into urllib.request (3.3 onwards) it could be nice. Also you could have noticed an addition of method= parameter in 3.3 I have not had a chance to look at urllib3. Should do. I have been following httplib2 and use it.
