Why can't I get Python's urlopen() method to work?
- by froadie
Why isn't this simple Python code working?
import urllib
file = urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
print file.read()
This is the error that I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\workspace\GarchUpdate\src\Practice.py", line 26, in <module>
file = urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
File "C:\Python26\lib\urllib.py", line 87, in urlopen

raise error, msg
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
I've tried it with several different pages but I can never get the urlopen method to execute correctly.
