Any reason not to just maintain this list on the wiki. It seem this is the primary issue for everyone... not figuring out how to download or extract the toolchain.
I can just note URLs down in README or wiki.
Of course, everyone knows how to download a tarball and extract it, but isn't it more convenient to prepare a utility that can do everything for
you?

It seems like using wget would be more appropriate. Why reinvent the
wheel?
My intention was to not depend on particular external programs like wget,
curl.
But, you are right, we should not reinvent the wheel.
I will replace my implementation with a caller of wget.
I think urllib2 is a better solution.
Now I understand we must depend on "tar" anyway.
So my first intention "no external program dependency" seems impossible (at least on Python 2).
I do not mind depending on wget, and it seems easier.
Is wget always installed? Maybe urllib is better just in case.
In my case I do some work on an old distro and on that machine I have wget, but not python 3.

One option there might be Python 2 and urllib2 like buildman? In general it is nice to support older platforms if we can as it reduces friction.
