urllib2 uses urllib and httplib under the hood. There all part of the standard python install.
Yeah the docs may say it's in the body of the response, but is that your response to them, or the response to some request you have to further make to them. This sounds familiar. It may or may not have been Paypal, but I've done something like this in the past, and there was no extra request. Yes, you have to have a remembered cart, or something, to coordinate with what they're sending you, unless you're getting everything you need for fulfillment in the post from them. Anyway, good luck. In my experience, webservice documentation has spotty quality. On 3/12/12, hack <scottma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yea, the docs say its in the body of the response. > > I'll try the lib you suggest.
