Here is how I get the data using the urllib opener:

def GetSpecsFR(icecat_prod_id):
    opener = urllib.FancyURLopener({})
    ffr = opener.open("http://prf.icecat.biz/index.cgi?product_id=%s;mi=start;smi=product;shopname=openICEcat-url;lang=fr"
% icecat_prod_id)
    specsfr = ffr.read()
    #specsfr = specsfr.decode('utf-8')
    specsfr = RemoveHTML(specsfr)
    ##specsfr = "%r" % specsfr
##    if specsfr:
##        try:
##            specsfr = str(specsfr)
##        except UnicodeEncodeError:
##            specsfr = str(specsfr.encode('utf-16'))
    return specsfr
