How to read webpage

[tarun]

Dear All,I want to read a webpage and copy the contents of it in word file.
I tried to write following code:

import urllib2
urllib2.urlopen("http://www.rediff <http://www.rediff.com/>.com/")

*Error:-*

    urllib2.urlopen("http://www.icicibank.com/")
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 121, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 374, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 392, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 353, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 1100, in http_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
  File "C:\Python25\lib\urllib2.py", line 1075, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
