Summary: Why not sequential?

Initial Comment:
In my opinion it's not complicated, it's convoluted. I must use two object to handle one data stream.

Furthermore it's a waste of resources. I must copy data to another object. Luckily in my script I download and handle only little files. But what if a python program must handle big files?

If seek() can't be used (an except is raised), urllib could use a sequential access method.
