No urllib is a "method". Use type(obj) to find out what python thinks the "type" of that object is. Note that "object" here is not meant in the same sense as the OOP definition. > > In that case what does the python 3.0 version mean > > import urllib.request > urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, local_file_name) > > urllib -->static class > request -->method > urlretrieve--> what is this then ? A 'function'. urllib.request.urlretrieve is the fully qualified name of the function urlretrieve. In other words urlretrieve lives in the urllib.request namespace. -srp > > regards > Hrishy > > --- On Mon, 8/12/08, Jerry Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > From: Jerry Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: Equivalent of 'wget' for python? > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Date: Monday, 8 December, 2008, 5:54 PM > > On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 11:53 AM, r0g > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > urllib.urlretrieve(url_of_zip_file, > > destination_on_local_filesystem). > > > In python 3.0, that appears to be: > > > import urllib.request > > urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, local_file_name) > > > -- > > Jerry > > -- > >http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
