from urllib2 import urlopen, Request, URLError

request = Request(url="http://www.compsci.ca")

try:
   web_page_handle = urlopen(request)
   contents = web_page_handle.read()
   print contents
except URLError:
   print "Couldn't open the URL."
except:
   print "Some unexpected error occurred."
finally:
   f.close()

For what it's worth, the equivalent Ruby:

require 'open-uri'

begin
   web_page_handle = open "http://www.compsci.ca"
   contents = web_page_handle.read
   puts contents
rescue SocketError
   puts "Couldn't open the URL."
rescue
   puts "Some unexpected error occurred."
ensure
   f.close
end

Ruby Forum!

Awsomeness....now perhaps I'll be inspired enough to continue learning that language.  From what little I know of it (and I mean *little*), it's completely deserving of all the attention it gets.

So, does that mean that wtd gets to be bumped to Ruby Moderator status?

hmm probably although all mod decissions are taken by the senior staff (compsci board of directors  :wink:)

you see compsci.ca has become more communistic vs dictatored. and hell no its not democratic. :twisted:

but finally its up to wtd, to accpet or decline.

I'm more about inspiring others to make great discoveries, then taking a small part of the credit.  ;)
