Trying to scrape some headlines off a newspaper with
this code:

import urllib, re
pattern = re.compile("""<h2><a
href="(.*)">(.*)</p>""", re.DOTALL)
page =
urllib.urlopen("http://www.startribune.com").read()   
for (headline, code, description) in
pattern.findall(page):
    print (headline, code, description)

I'm getting the error below and can't find anything in
the documentation. Suggestions




Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python24/Stribwebscrape.py", line 13, in ?
    for (headline, code, description) in
pattern.findall(page):
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
