Eat shit and die.

Read your fucking error messages.

doesn't work

What is this, your first time asking for programming help?  Provide some information besides "doesn't work", like what does happen?, and what value that urlretrieve() shit returns (if it does return anything; I've never really used Python so I've never read the documentation for that stuff, but presumably it will return at least 1 value that may indicate success or some kind of error code).

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.urlretrieve

Read this.

Firstly, I agree with >>4, always post the full transcript if you want real help
Secondly, it just looks like a bug, but I don't really care to look into it. You'll probably get a real answer if you post it on comp.lang.python

There's nothing newsgroups like better than lazy incompetents bothering them with what they think are bugs in libraries but are actually not at all.

>>2
This.

This pretty much makes up all the content of the newsgroups.  They're like /prog/, but without as many unfunny joke threads.
