+%description
+Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely verbose and
+cumbersome. Python’s built-in urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP
+capabilities you should need, but the API is thoroughly broken. This library is
+designed to make HTTP requests easy for developers.
