I ran your code:
>>> import urllib2
>>> urllib2.urlopen('www.google.com')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 121, in urlopen
return _opener.open(url, data)
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 366, in open
protocol = req.get_type()
File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 241, in get_type
raise ValueError, "unknown url type: %s" % self.__original
ValueError: unknown url type: www.google.com
Note the traceback.
you need to call it with type in front of the url:
>>> import urllib2
>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
<addinfourl at 27659320 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x01A51F48>>
Python's interactive mode is very useful for tracking down this type
of problem.
