Attached is a basic patch to add a recommendation to use requests to the http.client documentation for 3.5. It is implemented as a seealso at the top of the file: See Also: The Requests package is recommended for a higher-level http client interface. If people are happy with the wording, I'll also add the same message to urllib.request and do the same with previous versions (2.7, 3.3, and 3.4).

Given the generally positive comments, here are patches for 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 (3.5 patch updated to also include urllib.request).
