[Tutor] Class Extend Help

[Richard Lovely]

There are three ways as I see it: using __getattr__, using a new init,
or using a property decorator.  The last two are probably the most
pythonic, but I'm not familiar with decorators, so here's how I'd do
the second of the three:

try:
     from google.appengine.api.urlfetch import fetch
except:
     from urllib import urlopen

     class fetch(urlopen):
         def __init__(self, *args):
             urlopen.__init__(self, *args)
             self.content = self.read()


This probably doesn't behave exactly the same way as the google class,
but it should be similar enough?
