It isn't html that was read from a website (note the commas after </span>). You show it as if it is a list of strings, but the strings don't have quotes around them.

x=urllib.urlopen(url) p=x.read() then you can use elementree, or beautiful soup to get your prices quite easily. -Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
