Opening file with urllib

[Jon Cosby]

I'm writing a simple CGI script using urllib to open a file. When I run the
script, I'm getting an error message "Unterminated string constant." The
problem seems to be in the urlopen() method; when I use the open() method in
the local path, the script runs as expected. The suspect code is as follows:

def GetLink():
    InFile = urllib.urlopen("http://computer/cgi-bin/Links.txt")
    List = InFile.readlines()
    Link = whrandom.choice(List)
    InFile.close()
    return Link[:-1]

I see that the data arguments aren't required, but what else could it be?
I'm stumped. If ayone sees what I'm missing, please contact me at
