urllib (and urllib2) read all data from page on open()?

[Alex Stapleton]

Except wouldn't it of already read the entire file when it opened, or does
it occour on the first read()? Also will the data returned from
handle.read(100) be raw HTTP? In which case what if the encoding is chunked
or gzipped?

Certianly under urllib2 - handle.read(100) will read the next 100 bytes
(up to) from the handle. Which is the same beahviour as the read method
for files.....
