For the most part, the standard library aims to be a collection of resources helpful for building applications like curl and wget. The applications themselves should live on the Python Package Index (PyPI). Also, as Christian points out, this is a non-trivial project with a large scope. > The urllib could provide a very simple download functionality > (like http offers a simple server): > > from urllib.request import urlopen > data = urlopen('https://.../install-poetry.py').read() > # print or save data This is a simpler request and is within our scope; however, I not sure how it differs from the existing functionality in urllib.request.urlretrieve(). Can you clarify what extra functionality is being requested? ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
