New submission from Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com>:

Someone over at StackOverflow had a problem with urlopen in Python 3.2.1:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6892573/problem-with-urlopen/6892843#6892843

This is the code:

    from urllib.request import urlopen
    f = urlopen('http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3020-tips.html?mod=topnav_2_3000')
    page = f.read()
    f.close()

With Python 3.1 and Python 3.2 it works OK, but with Python 3.2.1 the
read returns an empty string.
