It should be possible to do:

import datapackage

dp = datapackage.DataPackage('http://data.okfn.org/data/cpi/')

We still need to figure out how the base path works in this case. Probably, the resources will be loaded with their paths relative to the URL as well. I've asked for clarifications at frictionlessdata/specs#232

[#11] Load resources with URL relative to datapackage's URL
90cd843 
For example, say that the datapackage lives at
`http://someplace.com/datapackage.json` and has the following resources:

```
{
    # ...
    "resources": [
        { "path": "data/foo.csv" }
    ]
    # ...
}
```

We should try loading that from `http://someplace.com/data/foo.csv`.

I've considered that the base path works the same way for URLs and file paths. If we discover this is wrong, we must reopen this issue.
