Hi Victor and Karthikeyan, Both your analysis are correct. - This is a legacy interface, present purely for satisfying the old code, when urlretrieve was advertised as the first/easy to way to use urllib and download something. - At this moment, I think, we should remove those legacy interfaces including urlcleanup. - I think, users can easily using urllib to write to the file using context manager and if desired urlretrieve can be modernized over it's use of urlcleanup. +1 to deprecation and removal.
