I'm fine with it, if both packages are kept. But since it looks like urllib is considered inferior to urllib2, shouldn't it be possible to improve the latter (integrating whatever can be salvaged from urllib) and removing the former, in the spirit of Christian's suggestion ?
I'd go so far as to say that any use case for urllib that can't be supported by urllib2 suggests a bug in urllib2. :-) I don't think I've encountered a situation that I couldn't solve easily with urllib2 where I'd have used urllib in the past (pre-urllib2 days). -Fred -- Fred Drake <fdrake at acm.org>
