Hi Victor and Karthikeyan, Both your analysis are correct. - This is a legacy interface, present purely for satisfying the old code, when urlretrieve was advertised as the first/easy to way to use urllib and download something. - At this moment, I think, we should remove those legacy interfaces including urlcleanup. - I think, users can easily using urllib to write to the file using context manager and if desired urlretrieve can be modernized over it's use of urlcleanup. +1 to deprecation and removal. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37475> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
