Hi All, I am trying to read a webpage into a variable. My intention is to search for patterns within the page. I am stuck because I get this error shown below .... I have 2.5.1 Windows installer. I have tried repairing it but it takes me down in the same hole ...everything else seems to work fine in python Anyone else who encountered similar problem?
Funny thing is it works on my second computer :-| Thanks Gagan >>> import urllib >>> sock = urllib.urlopen("http://www.cnn.com/") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#16>", line 1, in <module> sock = urllib.urlopen("http://www.cnn.com/") File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib.py", line 82, in urlopen return opener.open(url) File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib.py", line 190, in open return getattr(self, name)(url) File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib.py", line 314, in open_http h = httplib.HTTP(host) File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 1155, in __init__ self._setup(self._connection_class(host, port, strict)) File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 635, in __init__ self._set_hostport(host, port) File "C:\Python25\lib\httplib.py", line 647, in _set_hostport raise InvalidURL("nonnumeric port: '%s'" % host[i+1:]) InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: 'port'
