Hi,

now when the vacations even in Europe are over could I ask for some movement on http://bugs.python.org/issue19494? Demanding a half-megabyte amount of packages from PIP ('just use requests' mentioned by some comments in the thread) or for that matter any package from PIP (including mine https://pypi.python.org/pypi/urllib2_prior_auth/) for something which is essentially a ten-lines patch seems to me rather crazy.
What happened to all those batteries which were supposed to be included?

Best,

Matěj
