Summary: urllib output: Worker thread..

Initial Comment:
Hi all,

I've used urlib many times before and have never got 
anything like this.. therefore i'm assuming this is a new 
thing in 2.3. because i've only been seeing this since I 
upgraded my Python version. Anyway At the end of a 
program that uses urllib.urlopen() this line appears

Worker thread [ 4291533751 ] : recieved quit event

And even if the program doesn't output anything it still 
appears, it's not really a big problem but it is very 
anoying! If somone could explain it I would much 
appreciate it.

I've attach a sample program (i've tested it with a few 
smaller programs and get the same output)

Mark.

I agree with you.. I have a few box's, the error is on Windows 
me box. I havn't had the oppertunity to upgrade the version 
of Python on my XP box because it is running some fairly 
important stuff i'm working on but I plan on upgrading as soon 
as I can. I have a FreeBSD box aswell but no Python as of 
yet. My friend is running FreeBSD and doesn't see the Worker 
Thread either..

I did the same search after I posted this message yesterday 
and couldnt fine anything either. If take into account my lack 
of copying skills then that could explain the miss spelling, I 
know we do spell some words differently from american 
english.

Thanks for the tip, as far as I'm aware if you open a file with 
just the files names then Python automatically looks in the 
same dir as the script. So i'm a little unsure why I would want 
to use an absolute file name when the file is right there :).

Thanks for your help.
Mark.

On my OS X machine I don't get that message.  What OS are you 
using, Mark?  If you look at urllib it does not import any threading 
module.  I ran ``egrep -r "Worker thread" *`` and it found 
nothing.  Search also failed for "recieved quit event" (which 
"recieved" is misspelled so you would think a search would turn it 
up easily).  I have a sneaking suspicion this might be platform-
specific.

Also, just a tip on opening files relative to the running code: it's 
best to make it absolute by making the path like so:

path = os.path.join(os.path.split(__file__)[0], "file.txt"))

This makes the path absolute so if people (like me) try to execute 
your script from another directory Python doesn't say it can't find 
the file you are referencing.
