I concur with Christian.  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.

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?
