My current problem is trying to figure out how to retrieve the source
code of a webpage that uses frames.
Here's a simple example of how to get the source code of
http://www.google.com
----------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
url = "http://www.google.com"
web = urllib.urlopen(url)
html = web.read()
print html
----------------------------
However let's say you have a page called blah.html that uses frames.
So the html code that is retrieve is something like:
<html><head><title>Some title </title></head>
<frameset rows='120,*' border='5' frameborder='5' framespacing='5'>
<frame name='top' src='top.html' scrolling='no'>
...
...
How would I, using this example get the html source of the frame named
'top'(top.html)
