http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html The page says that the return type of urlopen().info() is a mimetools.Message object, which is not quite true; it is a httplib.HTTPMessage object, which is a class derived from mimetools.Message, but with additional features. The httplib.HTTPMessage class is not documented at all, for which I will file a separate bug.
I'm including 2.7, as it also has this documentation problem. The rest of the documentation is correct. I know there is still work to be done on Issue 4773, which might affect this doc.
