Done.  Well, as far as I can tell, though the distribution
of the code might not conform as there it a lot of
code in __init_.py.

Many unit tests done in unittest. They fall into
two categories, those that run locally and those
that run against a set of URIs on the web. Is there
a stdlib way of segregating those tests? All the
code for the resources is also checked into
subversion:

Agreed. And done.

Agreed.

Generally out of my hands, but I can point out
that Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo and FreeBSD all
currently include httplib2.

Subscribed.
