Oh, and Servando - I use urllib like this -
>>>import urllib
>>>opener = urllib.URLopener()
>>> page = opener.open('http://www.google.co.nz')
>>> pageData = page.read()
With urllib (& urllib2) you can add some fancy stuff to the basic URLopener object, including cookie handling.

The message is the clue. urlopen returms a fileobject. So you
treat X like an open file. You have to read() from it to get
the data.
