Can anyone put their finger on what's going on here?
I'm trying to parse a web page for the local council using lxml and
when it gets as far as parsing the html the program just hangs, this
test script is below, and, well I'm stumped. It even freezes if I
stick the BBCs site in.
What am I missing?
#!/usr/bin/env python
# encoding: utf-8
import sys
import os
import httplib
from lxml import html
def main():
print "Getting ward list"
host = "www.sheffield.gov.uk"
councillorURL = "/your-city-council/councillors"
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(host)
conn.request("GET", councillorURL)
r = conn.getresponse()
print "Retrieved ward index page"
self.dom = html.parse(r.read())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
