Also how, _exactly_, are you testing this? C:\Python27>python -m timeit "filename='C:\\test.txt'; webpage='http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com/ex/001.html'; import urllib2; r = urllib2.urlopen(webpage); f = open(filename, 'w'); f.write(r.read()); f.close();" 10 loops, best of 3: 175 msec per loop That's a whole lot less the 0.88secs. -- Stephen Hansen m e @ i x o k a i . i o -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
