So pointers are welcome.) gist: urllib2 broke out the http auth information into some more named args. urllib is what was used in 1.0 - and it didn't do that ftp url's with user/pass will still work in 1.97 won't work under urllib2 I have plans to hack urlgrabber to add auth support that is consistent for http and ftp. so each repo would then have user=username password=password in the repository stanza. but I haven't had time b/c I've been busy with everything else :) Joe, please file an rfe/bugreport in bugzilla for this one so I'll remember. Thanks -sv
