The easiest way is to check for yourself, using type(). So 'type(urllib)' should give you '<type 'module'>' (assuming the same types as 2.5, I don't have an install of 3.0 handy atm). My guess is 'type(urllib.request)' will be the same, and 'type (urllib.request.urlretrieve)' will be '<type 'function'>'. 'urllib' is a module, or most likely in this case a package, which is a folder that can be treated as a module. It contains another module, 'request', which has inside the function 'urlretrieve'. Modules & packages are a handy language feature for placing functionality into namespaces. The documentation is worth checking out: http://docs.python.org/3.0/tutorial/modules.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
