No, there is no reason. I think I can import both, but I can't download the file I want using urllib.retrieve. And urllib2 lack the retrieve method (as much as I know at least) which very easily allow you to get a feedback of the download (transfert rate and so on). That was my problem. It's OK now, Fuzzy explain me how to do that. (I'm really a newbie in this marvellous world of programming, you know...) Thanks anyway to take the time to read my post and to answer it. Bye, Monty
