[Tutor] Get information from a web page

[python-tutor@toddmaynard.com]

Not sure exactly what you have going wrong without the code or the exact url 
you are using.  

Does something like:

import urllib

page = 
urllib.urlopen("http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/08/043236&tid=126").read()
print page 

give you the correct results?


Is the problem specific to only to that url?
