IMO you better don't because urllib2 provides not only an abstraction, but a lot of services (authenticated proxies, cached FTP files)...

If you are using http ranges, cached FTP files won't do any good. As for authenticated proxies: I think they ought to be implemented in httplib as well.

If everybody wants to become urllib just a better library to access http servers, I probably can't do much about it, though.
