httpFetch is not part of the standard library. Do you know who wrote it 
or where it came from? If it is written in Python you should have the 
source code for the module.

Try this in the interactive interpreter to locate the file:
import httpFetch
print httpFetch.__file__

This may print the path to a .pyc file; look in the same directory for 
the corresponding .py file.

You can also try
help(httpFetch)
help(httpFetch.httpFetch)
dir(httpFetch)
