By default, most Python maintainers use the short description found in
either the modules setup.py metadata, or the short tag/summary from the
projects site verbatim, unless there is good reason to do so. In this
case: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/

Additionally, this was a copy of www/requests that has the same COMMENT
(with the appropriate version tweak)

Not withstanding, the COMMENT does accurately reflect what the port
provides, both functionally and from the standpoint of providing key
information for a FreeBSD user to make a well informed choice to install
it, though I do understand why that might not be immediately obvious.

For what it's worth, "for human beings" is almost a convention in Python
land for modules with 'beautiful developer API\'s'

But seriously, the "seriously" wasn't necessary :)
