I was trying to find the right module for downloading kernel patches from kernel.org site

For example,to download the file at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/62948/mbox/

I understand urlgrabber has a problem with https on debian. urllib2 seems to have problem with this url as well (says getaddrinfo failed, even though there are no problems reaching other urls)

Any help would be appreciated
