You already have that module as it is part of the Python standard 
installation. You can double check by importing something that is always 
available. E. g. the following should succeed on your system

>>> from http.client import HTTPConnection

What you are likely missing is ssl support. Try

>>> import ssl

to verify that it fails and post the traceback.

Unfortunately my conclusion from Marco's post is that

>>> from http.client import HTTPSConnection

should succeed on your system without the need for additional packages. 
Something seems to be broken, but I have no idea what, sorry.
