The urllib2 documentation says that timeout parameter was added in Python 2.6. Unfortunately my code base has been running on Python 2.5 and 2.4 platforms. Is there any alternate way to simulate the timeout? All I want to do is allow the code to talk the remote server for a fixed amount of time. Perhaps any alternative built-in library...
I'd like to tell urllib2.urlopen (or a custom opener) to use 127.0.0.1 (or ::1) to resolve addresses. I wouldn't change my /etc/resolv.conf, however. One possible solution is to use a tool like dnspython to query addresses and httplib to build a custom url opener. I'd prefer telling urlopen to use a custom nameserver though. Any suggest...
Hi, I'm having little trouble creating a script working with URLs. I'm using urllib.urlopen() to get content of desired URL. But some of these URLs requires authentication. And urlopen prompts me to type in my username and then password. What I need is to ignore every URL that'll require authentication, just easily skip it and continue...
I'm using urllib2's urlopen function to try and get a JSON result from the StackOverflow api. The code I'm using: >>> import urllib2 >>> conn = urllib2.urlopen("http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/users/") >>> conn.readline() The result I'm getting: '\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\xed\xbd\x07`\x1cI\x96%&/m\xca{\x7fJ\...

Whenever looking at API libraries for Python, there seems to be about half of them simply using: response = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.example.com/api', data) and about half using: connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection('www.example.com/api') # ... rest omitted for simplicity I tend to think the second version is "cooler" (I'm bias...

Greetings, I have done: import urllib site = urllib.urlopen('http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Temple+TX+76504') site_data = site.read() site.close() but it doesn't compare to viewing the source when loaded in firefox. I suspected the user agent and did this: class AppURLopener(urllib.FancyURLopener): version = "Mozilla/5.0...
Hey all, I have a site that looks up info for the end user, is written in Python, and requires several urlopen commands. As a result it takes a bit for a page to load. I was wondering if there was a way to make it faster? Is there an easy Python way to cache or a way to make the urlopen scripts fun last? The urlopens access the Amazon ...
I have a script that fetches several web pages and parses the info. (An example can be seen at http://bluedevilbooks.com/search/?DEPT=MATH&CLASS=103&SEC=01 ) I ran cProfile on it, and as I assumed, urlopen takes up a lot of time. Is there a way to fetch the pages faster? Or a way to fetch several pages at once? I'll do whatever...
I'm still relatively new to Python, so if this is an obvious question, I apologize. My question is in regard to the urllib2 library, and it's urlopen function. Currently I'm using this to load a large amount of pages from another server (they are all on the same remote host) but the script is killed every now and then by a timeout error...
I've been reading about Python's urllib2's ability to open and read directories that are password protected, but even after looking at examples in the docs, and here on StackOverflow, I can't get my script to work. import urllib2 # Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication... auth_handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAut...
They didn't mention this in python documentation. And recently I'm testing a website simply refreshing the site using urllib2.urlopen() to extract certain content, I notice sometimes when I update the site urllib2.urlopen() seems not get the newly added content. So I wonder it does cache stuff somewhere, right? ...
Hi guys. I'm trying to collecting data from a frequently updating blog, so I simply use a while loop which includes urllib2.urlopen("http:\example.com") to refresh the page every 5 minutes to collect the data I wanted. But I notice that I'm not getting the most recent content by doing this, it's different from what I see via browser su...

Hello. I've got a Python app, that uses urllib.urlopen. It works fine on dev_appserver.py, but throws [Errno http error] no host given error on my GAE production server. The code is exactly the same, the url, it connects to, is hardcoded. I'm out of ideas, what could be wrong. UPD: the code: def getPic(url): sock = urllib.urlopen("...
I have client for web interface to long running process. I'd like to have output from that process to be displayed as it comes. Works great with urllib.urlopen(), but it doesn't have timeout parameter. On the other hand with urllib2.urlopen() the output is buffered. Is there a easy way to disable that buffer? ...
