Podcast catcher in Python

[Chuck]

Hi all,

I would like to code a simple podcast catcher in Python merely as an
exercise in internet programming.  I am a CS student and new to
Python, but understand Java fairly well.  I understand how to connect
to a server with urlopen, but then I don't understand how to download
the mp3, or whatever, podcast?  Do I need to somehow parse the XML
document?  I really don't know.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chuck
