       This reduces the effort users need to use your application if you need third-party libraries.
       However, I would still advise to avoid unnecessary dependencies (for simple HTTP requests you can use the base library. If you do complex requests, then using a third-party library might be much simpler).

 When using third-party dependencies in your Python code, it is highly interesting to avoid installing any project-specific dependency outside the project.
 
 To achieve that, traditionally virtualenvs are used; those are miniature Python installations where you can install any library you want. Virtualenvs need to be explicitly activated to be used, so it is easy to have a virtualenv for each Python project you are working on.
