It consists of code from urllib, urllib2, urlparse, and robotparser.
The old modules have all been removed.  The new package has five
submodules: urllib.parse, urllib.request, urllib.response,
urllib.error, and urllib.robotparser.  The urllib.request.urlopen()
function uses the url opener from urllib2.

Note that the unittests have not been renamed for the
beta, but they will be renamed in the future.

Joint work with Senthil Kumaran.

There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

From SF patch #852334.
