So, I just put this little chunk to the test, which does give you
feedback about what's going on with a file download. Interesting that
with urlretrieve, you don't do all the file opening and closing stuff.

Honestly I think that e.g. changing 5/2 to be 2.5 (instead of 2) would

On the otherhand I'm using Python as "Matlab replacement" and would
generally like 5/2 ==2.5
So, I was contemplating to default all my modules/script
