Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com> added the comment: Actually, I see certain use-cases of _urlopener in py3k. Most visible one being urllib.request.urlretrieve and also URLOpener.open which is different from build_opener way of doing things.
- But still, public exposure of overriding globals to can be removed. There is no harm in the functionality. In py3k, users should resort to build_opener style of doing than use FancyURLOpener or URLOpener which are present for backward compatibility reasons only. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
