Looking in the V3 documents on the Python web site it says:

==============
The following functions and classes are ported from the Python 2 module 
urllib (as opposed to urllib2). They might become deprecated at some 
point in the future.

urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename=None, reporthook=None, data=None)

Copy a network object denoted by a URL to a local file...

===============

Look in the module docs for urlib.request.
