I'm having a leeetle trouble recreating this. I'm working directly with urlgrabber.py. I've tried the /etc/hosts trick but I can't do the no-network thing ATM. It's one of the few things you can't do remotely :) Do me a favor. In either case, you should still get the same error when you do: python2 urlgrabber.py http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/your/file /dev/null Please verify that it does still produce the error. The error is clearly coming from that code, but I can't reproduce it. I could just take the shotgun approach and catch the exception. I will ultimately, of course. I just want to better understand what's going on. [ I'll give you a new urlgrabber shortly to test on again :) ] -Michael -- Michael Stenner Office Phone: 919-660-2513 Duke University, Dept. of Physics mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Box 90305, Durham N.C. 27708-0305
