Description (last modified by )
We have a Django template hosted in a private repository.
When we run
django-admin.py startproject --template=https://bitbucket.org/<team>/simple_template/get/master.zip --name=Procfile myproject .
with Python 2.7 we get a prompt for username and password.
However the same command using Python 3.6 returns the following error:
CommandError: couldn't download URL https://bitbucket.org/<team>/simple_template/get/master.zip to master.zip: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

I can see from the documentation that urlretrieve is a legacy interface that will be deprecated in the future (https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.urlretrieve) but other than that I don't see anything that would explain why with in Python 2 you get a prompt but not in Python 3

After some exploration as discussed on django-developers, this seems more complicated than it's worth as Python's behavior has changed to remove prompting for the credentials. You can add the username and password to the URL or use some other method to download it.
Perhaps there's a difference in urlretrieve() between Python 2 and 3. I'm not sure if there's anything Django can do about it. Do you want to investigate?
