I guarantee you that in my (university) environment, if httpimport is in the stdlib, its use will be rampant (and not just by students, but by security-oblivious faculty). I want to be able to walk up to a student, say "may I?" and type "python -m httpimport" to determine if that particular risky behavior is a worry. Because *I'm* liable for my students' PCs' behavior on the network. Personally speaking, +1 on PyPI, -100 on stdlib.
