urllib3 or Requests

[eljeffeg]

Since most requests go to the same servers, it would seem that Keep-alive and HTTP connection pooling would be extremely helpful for this library. Most of my application's delays are spent on urllib2 requests to the graph. Any chance of updating the code to use urllib3 or Requests that would likely speed up a query? In some benchmarks I've seen, they can be twice as fast.

Oh, and Requests support's Python 3, which may address this issue, since it appears most of it focuses on urllib queries.

I would really like the library to one day support Requests (for the reasons you mentioned), but have not found time to work on it. I took a short look at it previously, but was discouraged by the fact that it did not support Google App Engine. This seems to no longer be the case, though.

Closing in favor of #76, which is likely to be merged in the near future.
