[issue3429] urllib.urlopen() return type

New submission from ThomasH <thomas.bugzilla[at]gmx.net>:

The file-like object returned by urllib.urlopen() should be documented
like a proper class. The textual description under the urlopen() method
is less approachable and breaks the usual format of a class documentation.

Maybe the return type should be changed to be a httplib.HTTPResponse
object (but that's a separate issue).

Benjamin Peterson <musiccomposition[at]gmail.com> added the comment:

I'll let Georg make the final determination about this, but IMO this is
unneeded. File-like objects are so common in Python code, that just
telling what methods are supported should be fine.
