If you want to test web sites, you might be interested in 
zope.testbrowser (currently Zope 3 only, but fixing that is on my to do 
list).

You can see an example testbrowser test (which is also both its README 
and its unit tests) at 
http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope3/branches/testbrowser-integration/src/zope/testbrowser/README.txt?rev=38050

If there is any interest I'll try to package up a stand-alone version in 
the next few days.

I think that would be a very usefull tool. Currently I'm using httpunit 
with Jython but a python only tool would be much nicer.

Hi,

 I just want to test that a given website is up or not from a python 
 script.  I thought of using wget as an os command.  Any better ideas?
Here is how I did it:

import urllib2
import socket
def checkUrl(url, timeout=1):
   Checks an url for a python version greater
  than 2.3.3.

  Note: For me isn't important the kind of
HTTP Error. If you want to know it,
then take a look at the existent
solutions like CMFLinkChecker and
see how they extract the code from
the error message.
   
   error={'code':1, 'msg':'Success'}
   defTimeOut=socket.getdefaulttimeout()
   socket.setdefaulttimeout(timeout)
   try:
 urllib2.urlopen(url)
   except (urllib2.HTTPError, urllib2.URLError,
   socket.error, socket.sslerror):
 error['code']=-2
 error['msg']=The link: \${link}\ couldn't be validated
   except:
 socket.setdefaulttimeout(defTimeOut)
 raise

   socket.setdefaulttimeout(defTimeOut)
   return error

I put a first cut at http://benjiyork.com/zope.testbrowser-0.1.tgz). 
See the README.txt for general info and over_the_wire.txt for how to use 
it to access web sites.  It requires the zope.interface package from 
http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface (version 3.0.1 should work).

urllib

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-urllib.html

If you only want to test if the HTTP port is open or not:

socket

Here's something I did recently at work.  (Thought it's testing http
digest authentication, the idea would the same (testNoAuth() is
probably doing what you want)).  It contains unittest code and is using
urllib2.
