Well I did not post the code because it is fairly complex and its hard
to give you the whole picture without giving you too much code. But
here you go, you get what you ask for:


   def Download( self ):
      PrintSubStatus( 'Downloading...' )
      destination = normalize( '{0}/{1}'.format( self._info.outdir,
self._info.file_ext ) )
      print( self._info.url )
      print( destination )
      urlretrieve( self._info.url, destination )

Both print statements are shown as below:
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxwindows/mxMSW-2.8.10.zip
D:\IT\personal\haresvn\temp\mxMSW-2.8.10.zip

I really can't figure out why this isn't working.
