You need to step back a bit and get a better understanding of variables and functions and how to use them. You are trying to run before you can walk. > import urllib > import sys > > # Get a file-like object from the web and store it locally. > > url = > "http://www.co.rowan.nc.us/enviroservs/planning_data/countyline.zip"; > > > # connect to the remote > try: > remote = urllib.urlopen(url) > except: > print "Connot open URL" > sys.exit() At this stage you have a connection to the zip file. > # Read from the object, storing the page's contents in 's'. > s = f.read() But here you are trying to read from f which doesn't exist! > m = "D\\Temp\\file" And here you assign a filename to m (except the filename is invalid because it doesn't have a colon after the D) > print remote.info() Now this should print some info about your connection > m = urllib.urlretrieve Now you replace the filename with a function from the urllib module. > print "Content:" > print s > print "Download Done" You print out the contents of s which probanly are invalid since f didn't exist. > f.close() And you close f which still doesn't exist. You need to sit down and work through which variables you need and which functions of urllib you need. I suspect you only need to use urllib.urlretrieve() and your total code should only be 3 or 4 lines long.
