Mailman 3 [issue32804] urllib.retrieve documentation doesn't mention context parameter - docs

9 Feb 2018

      New submission from Julian O :

In 2014, urlretrieve was changed to accept a context parameter to configure, for example, SSL settings.

Ref: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/b206473ef8a7abe9abf5ab8776ea3bcb90a...

However, 2.7.14 documentation does not mention this parameter.
...
urllib.urlretrieve(url[, filename[, reporthook[, data]]])
Ref: https://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html
