I'm not able to reproduce your results with python 2.5. py> from urllib import * py> URLopener.open_https = None py> URLopener.open_https py> type(URLopener.open_https) <type 'NoneType'> py> def doit(self, url, data=None, ssl_context=None): ... print 'self is %s, url is %s' % (self, url) ... ... py> URLopener.open_https = doit py> u = URLopener() py> u = u.open_https('http://wherever.com') self is <urllib.URLopener instance at 0x4066070c>, url is http://wherever.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
