@ -126,26 +126,6 @@ The :mod:`urllib.request` module defines the following functions:
of the data it has downloaded, and just returns it. In this case you just have
to assume that the download was successful.
.. data:: _urlopener
The public functions :func:`urlopen` and :func:`urlretrieve` create an instance
of the :class:`FancyURLopener` class and use it to perform their requested
actions. To override this functionality, programmers can create a subclass of
:class:`URLopener` or :class:`FancyURLopener`, then assign an instance of that
class to the ``urllib.request._urlopener`` variable before calling the
desired function. For example, applications may want to specify a different
:mailheader:`User-Agent` header than :class:`URLopener` defines.
This can be accomplished with the following code::
import urllib.request
class AppURLopener(urllib.request.FancyURLopener):
version = "App/1.7"
urllib.request._urlopener = AppURLopener()
.. function:: urlcleanup()
