[Chicago] control bandwidth speed in urllib2?

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody implemented or knows how to implement
bandwidth speed limit in urllib2.

I need to control how fast urls are downloaded at some consistent rate.

One solution is to sleep for x seconds until average rate is achieved,
but that causes spikes of high bandwidth/no bandwidth.  Is there a way
to make urllib2 use 5kb/s constant speed at all times.

Thanks,
Lucas
