[Tutor] file fetcher class object through http

[Artie Ziff]

Hello..

I like reading different people's implementations of python as it helps 
me decide what is necessary vs what is not.

Essentially, I want to write a class that finds, and downloads a file 
from a web server.

Of course I may add some file matching features through regex... and 
other things that I need.

mostly, I am looking for a smart class implementation that has 
well-considered API and method choices.

I tried to read through packages such as distutils and setuptools 
however I believe I may need to read some code that is less "industrial 
strength". lol!

maybe you know of one in an author's particular open source package?

pls point me to one you know about...

thank you.
