Hi all, My apologises if this is not the appropriate group.
I'd like to access a web site from a python script. That page, in fact, is a form of main page. With a browser (Firefox, for instance) I can do it without problem: I open the main web whose url is: 'http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSimpleFilter.do?cache=init&prev_layout=busquedaisbn&layout=busquedaisbn&language=es' and then, from the same (or another tab) I open the form (it's a book database and the ISBN is the relevant parameter) whose url is: 'http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSimpleDispatch.do?params.forzaQuery=N¶ms.cisbnExt=8484031128&action=Buscar&layout=busquedaisbn' So I get the information about the book. But when I try to do the same from the script, I get a time-out error -without time elapsing at all. This is the piece of the script relevant for the subject: #!/usr/bin/python # coding: latin-1 import os, sys import types import time import string import fileinput import re import urllib mcup = urllib.urlopen('http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSimpleFilter.do?cache=init&prev_layout=busquedaisbn&layout=busquedaisbn&language=es') # open main url jonk = mcup.read() # read no matter mcui = urllib.urlopen('http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSimpleDispatch.do?params.forzaQuery=N¶ms.cisbnExt=8484031128&action=Buscar&layout=busquedaisbn') # open form for isbn pagllibre = mcui.read() # reads it print pagllibre # and print it mcui.close() # close form mcup.close() # close main page Thanks in advance, I'd appreciate any help.
