In the documentation of the urllib.request module, the function 
urllib.request.urlretrieve is shown with parameters:
        (url[, data][, timeout])
Shouldn't the right bracket after 'data' be after 'timeout'?

Actually, that style is fine as well and even indicates a bit better
that you don't have to give data if you give timeout.

We'll likely try to get the style of writing optional parameters more
consistent in the future.
