Using BeautifulSoup, mechanize, and urllib, I've constructed the

br.form['fulltextsearch'] = 'msb83' # this searches the facebook for
me
br.submit()
results = br.response().read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(results)
foo2 = soup.find('td', attrs={'width':'95'})
foo3 = foo2.find('a')
foo4 = foo3.find('img', attrs={'src':'deliverImage.cfm?netid=msb83'})
# this just drills down to the <img> line and until this point the
program does not return an error
save_as = os.path.join('./', msb83 + '.jpg')
urllib.urlretrieve(foo4, save_as)>
I get the following error msg after running this code:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'
Wild guess, since you didn't provide line numbers, etc.
foo4 is None
(I also would like to suggest to use more meaningful names)

I thought it was too, and I just doublechecked. It's actually
foo3 = foo2.find('a')
that is causing the NoneType error.
Thoughts?
I've now fixed the foo3 issue, and I now know that the problem is with
the urllib.urlretrieve line (see above). This is the error msg I get
in IDLE:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/Matt/Documents/python/dtest.py", line 59, in <module>
urllib.urlretrieve(foo4, save_as)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib.py", line 94, in urlretrieve
return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib.py", line 226, in retrieve
url = unwrap(toBytes(url))
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/urllib.py", line 1033, in unwrap
url = url.strip()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
Is this msg being generated because I'm trying to retrieve a url
that's not really a file?
It's because the URL you're passing in, namely foo4, is None. This is
presumably because foo3.find() returns None if it can't find the entry.
You checked the value of foo3, but did you check the value of foo4?
