httplib2 is basically a replacement for urllib.  I personally prefer it 
to urllib.  I don't know how other people feel, or Joe's thoughts (the 
author).

Somewhat ironically httplib2 has a scope that is closer to urllib than 
httplib.  It would be nice if this naming style (x and x2) didn't persist.
