urlopen

I have client for web interface to long running process. I'd like to have output from that process to be displayed as it comes. Works great with urllib.urlopen() , but it doesn't have timeout parameter. On the other hand with urllib2.urlopen() the output is buffered. Is there a easy way to disable that buffer? A quick hack that has occurred to me is to use urllib.urlopen() with threading.Timer() to emulate timeout. But that's only quick and dirty hack. urllib2 is buffered when you just call read() you could define a size to read and therefore disable buffering. for example: import urllib2

I'm currently new to python programming. My problem is that my python program doesn't seem to pass/encode the parameter properly to the ASP file that I've created. This is my sample code: import urllib.request url = 'http://www.sample.com/myASP.asp' full_url = url + "?data='" + str(sentData).replace("'", '"').replace(" ", "%20").replace('"', "%22") + "'" print (full_url) response = urllib.request.urlopen(full_url) print(response) the output would give me something like: http://www.sample.com/myASP.asp?data='{%22mykey%22:%20[{%22idno%22:%20%22id123%22,%20%22name%22:%20%22ej%22}]}' The asp file

I'm using urllib2 's urlopen function to try and get a JSON result from the StackOverflow api. The code I'm using: >>> import urllib2 >>> conn = urllib2.urlopen("http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/users/") >>> conn.readline() The result I'm getting: '\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\xed\xbd\x07`\x1cI\x96%&/m\xca{\x7fJ\... I'm fairly new to urllib, but this doesn't seem like the result I should be getting. I've tried it in other places and I get what I expect (the same as visiting the address with a browser gives me: a JSON object). Using urlopen on other sites (e.g. " http://google.com "

I am using urllib2.urlopen() and my process is getting blocked I am aware that urllib2.urlopen() has default timeout. How to make the call unblockable?

I'm using the following code to get data from a website: time_out = 4 def tryconnect(turl, timer=time_out, retries=10): urlopener = None sitefound = 1 tried = 0 while (sitefound != 0) and tried < retries: try: urlopener = urllib2.urlopen(turl, None, timer) sitefound = 0 except urllib2.URLError: tried += 1 if urlopener: return urlopener else: return None [...] urlopener = tryconnect('www.example.com') if not urlopener: return None try: for line in urlopener: do stuff except httplib.IncompleteRead: print 'incomplete' return None except socket.timeout: print 'socket' return None return stuff Is
