You missed urllib2 I think. :-)

I agree it's a mess.  I'm sure it all started out with backwards
compatibility in mind.  I find myself often importing cgi only to use
the tiny function escape() that is defined there...

I wonder if web-sig wouldn't be a good place to get some kindred spirits
together to redesign these APIs for Py3k?
