Hi, I just installed MacPython 2.4.1 and TigerPython24Fix from http://undefined.org/python/ onto my Tiger system. All is not well with the urllib2 module:
$ python Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import urllib2 >>> urllib2.urlopen("http://www.python.org") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
