R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

The HTTP RFCs reference the email RFCs for the date format, so the email 
package is the logical place for this function: email is the correct 
responsible party.  In any case, the function resides in email.utils, which has 
no dependencies on anything else in the email package.  Of course, it does have 
dependencies on other parts of the python standard library, but I hardly think 
you'd want every module re-implementing every stdlib function.
