Right, in Python land it is.  However, as a generic packager (that is,
FreeBSD Project) we should provide package descriptions (that includes
both COMMENT and pkg-descr) that can be comprehended by anyone, not just
someone necessarily coming from the Python land.

In this particular case, more neutral COMMENT, like "convenient (or easy
to use) HTTP module/functions bundle" would IMHO be better.

This is just my nit picking of course; no need to take any immediate
action(s).
