this works for me on ac os x: import string from urllib2 import Request, urlopen, URLError, HTTPError url = 'http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip' req = Request(url) try: oFile = urlopen(req) latestVersion = string.strip(string.split(string.split(string.split(oFile.read(), 'web2py/VERSION')[1], ' (')[0], 'Version ')[1]) except HTTPError as httpErr: print('HTTPError: {0}\t{1}'.format(httpErr.code, url)) except URLError as urlErr: print('URLError: {0}\t{1}'.format(urlErr.reason, url))
