In python2, I use this code: a=urllib.urlopen(something)
In python2, this work if "something" is a regular file on the system as well as a remote URL. The 2to3 script convert this to urllib.request.urlopen. But it does not work anymore if "something" is just a file name. My aim is to let the user specify a "file" on the command line and have something that works, whatever the "file " actually is: a regular file, an http url, etc...
