It works here: $ python3 t.py Response is: b'156.99\n' $ cat t.py import urllib.request fullURLWithParameters = 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=l1' # read all the data response = urllib.request.urlopen(fullURLWithParameters).read() print('Response is: ', response) $ python3 --version Python 3.5.2 Maybe you are missing some crucial certificates? Presumably Python finds them is standard paces, so it would be worth trying other accesses of the URL. For example, here: $ wget -q -O - 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=l1' 156.99 Finally, wget -S shows that the resource has moved. It is now at Location: http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=l1 I don't think this has anything to do with your problem, but it's worth noting. -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
