Equivalent of 'wget' for python?

[hrishy]

Hi 

Please excuse my OOP but is my understanding correct

urllib.urlretrieve(url_of_zip_file,destination_on_local_filesystem)

is urllib --->Static Class on which the method urlretrieve method is invoked ?

In that case what does the python 3.0 version mean

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, local_file_name)

urllib -->static class
request -->method
urlretrieve--> what is this then ?

regards
Hrishy
