Haha! My mistake.
The error is that when a web server is chunking a web page only the
first chunk appears to be acquired by the urllib2.urlopen call. If you
check the headers, there is no 'Content-length' (as expected) and
instead there is 'transfer-encoding' = 'chunked'. I am getting about
the first 30Kb, and then nothing else.
I don't get a ValueError like described at the following post:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....3ea9ca84b28669
Here's the code that I think is failing, it's basically textbook Python
for accessing a url:
file = urllib2.urlopen(url)
contenttype = file.info().type
if contenttype and contenttype.find('text') -1:
return file.read()
#
# I am checking the content type because I don't want to download
..jpegs and the like
#
I have typed similar commands into the interpreter, which also produces
only about the first 30KB of the url.
Sorry for the confusion.

I am having errors which appear to be linked to a previous bug in
urllib2 (and urllib) for v2.4 and v2.5 of Python. Has this been fixed?
Has anyone established a standard workaround? I keep finding old
posts about it, that basically give up and say "well it's a known bug."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps if you said what the supposed error is...
