Hi, Here's my attempt at petching a webpage which is gzip encoded -
import urllib.request import gzip import io request = urllib.request.Request(url='http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ baby',headers={'Accept': 'text/html','User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A542a Safari/419.3'} ) response = urllib.request.urlopen(request) data = response.read() compressedstream = io.StringIO(data) gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedstream) data = gzipper.read() print(data) However it gives the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 9, in <module> TypeError: initial_value must be str or None, not bytes How should I be doing this for Python 3?
