[New-bugs-announce] [issue10050] urllib.request still has old 2.x urllib primitives

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

3.x urllib.request still has a lot of stuff inherited from 2.x urllib: URLopener, FancyURLopener, the urlretrieve implementation (perhaps others?).

Ideally, urlretrieve should be reimplemented using urlopen or build_opener, and the other stuff deprecated.
