[Tutor] Fwd: thesaurus

[Pete Froslie]

I see.. that makes sense. Kind of new with python -- sorry for that.

after printing using this:

print urllib.urlopen('
http://words.bighugelabs.com/api/2/e413f24801aa30b8d441ca43a64317be/moving/').read(
)

I'm getting a format like this returned:

adjective|sim|streaming
adjective|sim|swirling
adjective|sim|tossing
adjective|sim|touching
adjective|sim|touring
adjective|sim|traveling
adjective|sim|tumbling

I assume I need to clean this up by reading past  'Adjective|sim|' to
'streaming' and then returning it from lookup()..
this will be happening in the following:

urllib.urlopen('
http://words.bighugelabs.com/api/2/e413f24801aa30b8d441ca43a64317be/moving/').read(SOMETHINGHERE)
