Problems with urllib

[Joonas Paalasmaa]

I get the following error message when trying to open a website with
urllib.
Internet connections are ok and I can access the page with browser.
Platform is WinNT4.

>>> indexfile = urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org").readlines()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#7>", line 1, in ?
    indexfile = urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org").readlines()
