I really appreciate your help, but it's not a problem of understanding how 
to use  urllib/httplib. I have used them before in various scripts, without 
this error. The scripts still work: it's only that I get a invalid page 
fault error afterwards all the time, and always when I have attempted a web 
connection using any of these two modules. I tried your code too, with the 
same result.

So it's nothing wrong with the code. It's something strange going on 
between Python and my instance of Windows. It would problaby help to 
reinstall Windows, but I hope this won't be needed.

Any other suggestions?
