stdlib Clients
Other parts of the stdlib rely on the email package for various services. Right now this is just a list of import dependencies; this should be expanded into a brief description of the stdlib use cases so we can make sure we continue to support them properly.
| Package | Email imports |

| http/client.py | email.parser, email.message |
| http/server.py | email.parser, email.message |
| urllib/request | email, email.utils (also mimetypes) |
| smtplib | email.utils |
| cgi | email.parser |
| pydoc | email.message |
| mailbox | email, email.message, email.generator |
