Eu tenho um script em python3.4 e ficou bom até o site do qual baixar o arquivo decide usar https e agora estou recebendo um erro, mas não consigo descobrir como recuperar o arquivo.

Meu script importa a seguinte biblioteca e usa o urlretrive para obter o arquivo anteriormente. Agora, ele é encaminhado para https com redirecionamento 302. Estou recebendo algum erro.

import urllib
import urllib.request

urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz", "/thefile.gz")

Meu erro: -
