Documentation says urllib.request.urlretrieve "might become deprecated at some point in the future".

IMHO, it's better to provide examples that do not make users rely on API that has this label.

I propose the example in the pull request to accomplish exactly the same task while not relying on urllib.request.urlretrieve.

Hi Senthil! I signed the CLA several days ago. Got the "Python Contributor Agreement Form between Python Software Foundation and Andrés Delfino is Signed and Filed!" mail on April 1st (perhaps I chose a bad date to fill the request ;) )

My contributor form shows as received now :)

Don't know how to update the "CLA not signed" label on the PR.

The label has been changed.  Senthil, go ahead and merge this.

Thank you, Andrés and Terry.

This is merged in 3.8 and backported to 3.7 and 3.6 too.
