[issue32804] urllib.retrieve documentation doesn't mention context parameter
New submission from Julian O <pythontracker@somethinkodd.com>: 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]]])
