Addendum: I don't expect you to fix my issue here - I just wanted to
report that this external dependency (python and the
requests-library) is something which can not be solved on all
systems obviously (and sadly).

So far, for my use-case I am very happy with the restclient.el. From
a convenience point of view it would be perfect when I would be able
to call it via babel. But this is whining on a high level :-)
