How can I obtain the source of a remote webpage (e.g. http://www.python.org/index.html) using Python?
Something like:
pyPage = open('http://www.python.org/index.html',r). read()
Obviously that won't work but how can I do something to that effect?
Thanks,
Ryan Kaskel

import urllib
pyPage = urllib.urlopen( 'http://www.python.org/index.html',r). read()

oops:
import urllib
pyPage = urllib.urlopen( 'http://www.python.org/index.html').re ad()
i.e. omit the 'r' argument to urlib.urlopen. pyPage = open('http://www.python.org/index.html',r). read()
using open() for local files and ORLs is called url-fopen and works in
PHP, which is a major security hole, because it even allows one to
include() code files from the web without knowing it, that kind of thing...
python has two functions so you know what you're doing.
If your webpage needs cookies or something, you'll need urllib2
If you wanna parse it afterwards use Htmllib or BeautifulSoup
Take a look at the urllib module: http://python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/module-urllib.html

Hi,
I have been looking for a good way to convert python code into a
control flow graph.
I know of Python functions that will convert an expression into an
abstract syntax tree (i.e. ast = parser.expr('(x+5)*5') then t =
ast.totuple() then t), but I am not sure how to obtain a CFG.
I've gone through the compiler and it has code that converts the AST

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
