python tags on websites timeout problem

[jeff]

Hiya

im trying to pull tags off a website using python ive got a few things
running that have the potential to work its just i cant get them to
becuase of certain errors?

basically i dont what to download the images and all the stuff just
the html and then work from there, i think its timing out because its
trying to downlaod the images as well which i dont what to do as this
would decrease the speed of what im trying to achieve, the URL used is
only that for an example

ive included my source and the errors

cheers

greg

this is my source

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
import urllib

file = urllib.urlretrieve("http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=rabbit"
, "temp1.tmp")

# open a file
file = open("temp1.tmp","r")
text = file.readlines()
file.close()

# searching the file content line by line:
keyword = re.compile(r"</a>")

for line in text:
result = keyword.search (line)
if result:
print result.group(1), ":", line,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
