Apparently, the urlfetch.fetch function returns a 'Response' object
which holds the attribute 'content' (among others).
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/urlfetch/responseobjects.html

So, I suppose it makes sense to do something similar. Here's another
idea (untested):

from urllib2 import urlopen

def fetch(url):
    class Response(object): pass
    response = Response()
    response.content = urlopen('http://www.example.com').read()
    return response

... or if you later want to match the appengine api more closely, then
just add what you need (something like) ...

from urllib2 import urlopen

class Response(object):
    def __init__(self, url):
        response = urlopen(url)
        self.status_code = response.code
        ...
        self.content = response.read()

def fetch(url):
    return Response(url)
