Thanks, but that isn't working for me.  Here's my code:

---------
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=43085"
page = urllib2.urlopen(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)

daytemp = soup.find("div",id="curcondbox").findNext("span","b").renderContents()

print "Today's temperature in Worthington is: ", daytemp
---------

When I try this, I get this error:

HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 1516, column 60

Could someone suggest how to proceed?

Thanks.
CM
