[Pythonmac-SIG] on idle....idle()...and urllib

[tom smith]

This is the code I'm trying and it starts ok then seems to end up in a
permanent loop. Using urllib.read() hardly ever gets all the data....



import urllib
url1 = 'http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf'
url2 = 'http://hack-the-planet.felter.org/rss.xml'
url3 ='http://www.tomalak.org/recentTodaysLinks.xml'

url_list = [url1, url2, url3]

n =1

for x in url_list:
    f = open(str(n), 'w')
    u = urllib.urlopen(x)
    data = ''
    
    t = 0
    while (u.readline()) != 0:
        print u.readline()
        data = data + u.readline()
        t = t + 1
        if t >10000:
            break
    
    print data
    print
    f.write(data)
    f.close()
    n =n +1
