Summary: urllib: Defering open call for file urls

Initial Comment:
This patch changes the handling of local files in 
urllib.urlopen() and urllib2.urlopen(). Opening the 
file is deferred until the first time read(), readline
(), readlines() or fileno() is called.

This makes it possible to retrieve the header 
information for all URLs via urlopen in a uniform way, 
without actually having to open the file.

I don't understand.  Can you explain why you care about
this?
