This has nothing to do with regular expressions. It would appear that page.read() is letting you read the response body multiple times in 2.x but not in 3.x, probably due to a change in buffering. Just store the string in a variable and avoid calling page.read() multiple times. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
