I'm including the code that I've been using. I am relatively new to python, and not sure if a socket was created:
***************** import socket socket.setdefaulttimeout(None) sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) from urllib import urlopen import urllib, urlparse, string, time web = 'http://www.python.org' socket.setdefaulttimeout(1200) website = web print website pinhtml = urllib.urlopen(website) data = pinhtml.read() sock.close() pinhtml.close() ***************** -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
