Are you sure it's returning a null and not just some other unexpected
type?

I think your problem may be that you are passing a urllib2 class to
urllib(1)'s urlopen. Try using urllib2's urlopen instead e.g.

import urllib2
request_object = urllib2.Request('http://www.example.com')
response = urllib2.urlopen(request_object)
the_page = response.read()
