[Pythonmac-SIG] Problems with urllib?

[Yair Benita]

I try to run a simple query using urllib. For example:

import urllib

x=urllib.urlopen("http://www.ebi.ac.uk/cgi-bin/emblfetch?db=embl&format=fast
a&style=raw&id=AB002378")
print x.read()

It looks like macpython is trying to read x before it is finished loading,
resulting in incomplete files. When I run it step by step in the debugger it
works perfectly.
Is there something different in the mac urllib which I should know?
The mac documentation refers to a mactcp module but I could not find it in
my installation (python 2.2). Maybe I need to put a command so that the
program waits until the communication is done.

Can anyone give some solution to this?

Thanks
Yair
