My bet is that the above is not the actual code you have run. I bet that the offending line is actually something like the following: b.go("'http://www.gmail.com") Note that there is a single character difference. Consider the last two lines of the traceback: > raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type) > urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: 'http> It seems to be saying that the url type is 'http -- note the leading single quote. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
