urllib behaves strangely

[Gabriel Zachmann]

Here is a very simple Python script utilizing urllib:

     import urllib
     url = 
"http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Featured_pictures/chronological"
     print url
     print
     file = urllib.urlopen( url )
     mime = file.info()
     print mime
     print file.read()
     print file.geturl()


However, when i ecexute it, i get an html error ("access denied").

On the one hand, the funny thing though is that i can view the page fine in my 
browser, and i can download it fine using curl.

On the other hand, it must have something to do with the URL because urllib 
works fine with any other URL i have tried ...

Any ideas?
I would appreciate very much any hints or suggestions.

Best regards,
Gabriel.
