Someone over at StackOverflow has 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 3.2.1 it works OK, but with Python 3.2.1 the
read returns an empty string (I checked it myself).
