hey folks, coming from java, new to python. i'm trying to port a java app to python that writes an inputstream to a buffer, then parses the buffer (specifically, i'm getting ID3 tags from mp3s online). i understand that this java approach to the task may not apply to python, but i'm having trouble finding a working approach in python.
i currently have locations of the mp3s in question as strings, which works for parsing local files, but gives me a "No such file or directory" error when it tries to process URLs. it seems terribly inefficient to download each mp3 just to get at that small tag data, and i assume there's a way to do this with file() or open() or something, i just can't get it to work. anyone know how i can fix this? thanks in advance for any help! best, max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
