>>> import urllib2
>>> u = urllib2.urlopen('http://google.com')
>>> dir(u)  # useful in seeing what's there, see also help(u)
['__doc__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__module__', '__repr__', 'close', 'code', 'fileno', 'fp', 'getcode', 'geturl', 'headers', 'info', 'msg', 'next', 'read', 'readline', 'readlines', 'url']
>>> u.geturl()
'http://www.google.com.au/'
>>> u.url
'http://www.google.com.au/'
