Yes, something using urllib is likely to work as a Java program when
statically compiled with jythonc.  There's always exceptions of course,
like some methods are trouble in an applet (e.g. retrieve won't work as an
applet because it opens a file, and applets don't normally have access to
the local filesystem).
