python urllib2 urlopen response
You need to bind the resultant file-like object to a variable, otherwise the interpreter just dumps it via repr
:
>>> import urllib2>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')<addinfourl at 18362520 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b250>>>>> >>> f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')>>> f<addinfourl at 18635448 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b950>>
To get the actual data you need to perform a read()
.
>>> data = f.read()>>> data[:50]'<!doctype html><html itemscope="itemscope" itemtyp'
To see the headers returned:
>>> print f.headersDate: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:46:22 GMTExpires: -1Cache-Control: private, max-age=0... etc ...
