urllib.urlopen fails in Emacs

[Iain Dalton]

In Emacs, using run-python,

import urllib
urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com/')

results in this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 82, in urlopen
return opener.open(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 190, in open
return getattr(self, name)(url)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 325, in open_http
h.endheaders()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 860, in endheaders
self._send_output()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 732, in _send_output

self.connect()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 683, in connect
raise socket.error, msg
IOError: [Errno socket error] (111, 'Connection refused')

It works fine from the command line. Why is this happening?

I can't answer your question, since I don't use emacs,
but it looks like emacs has some kind of built in firewall.

I don't think it is emacs... It works for me, using emacs 22.1, python
2.5.1, and windows XP:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
