[issue12487] urllib2.urlopen() returns object missing context manager

[Peter Schuller]

New submission from Peter Schuller <peter.schuller at infidyne.com>:

The documentation states it returns a "file-like object". In Python 2.5+ I expect such file-like objects to have a context manager for use with the with statement.

In my particular use-case, the lack comes from urllib.addinfourl but I have not investigated what the possible types returned may be.
