urlretrieve is a helper function from urllib  module. The way to use
it is:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> urllib.request('http://bugs.python.org')
('/tmp/tmpe873xe', <http.client.HTTPMessage object at 0xb72c2f6c>)
>>> import os
>>> os.stat('/tmp/tmpe873xe')
posix.stat_result(st_mode=33152, st_ino=4462517, st_dev=2054,
st_nlink=1, st_uid=1000, st_gid=1000, st_size=33128,
st_atime=1311608669, st_mtime=1311608670, st_ctime=1311608670)

Works properly for me 3.3 and 2.7. Is there any service that is
running on your machine that deleting the tmp files as soon as they
are created?
