Hi, I'm new to python. I've been handed the job of modifying a script we have here at work that pulls content from a zope site, to create static html. They wanted a check to make sure the database is up, while pulling, to avoid errors.
I got it pretty much working how I want without any problems. It's actually an error check I'm having a problem with. Usernames and passwords change.... I'm using urlib.urlopen to open a connection to a https url using the format of https://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This works great. However, if I put in the wrong username, the python script prompts for user validation, rather than giving an error. The script is not interactive, will be run by cron. So I can't just let it hang. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to catch that prompt and error out within the python script, rather that writing an expect wrapper for it. The less interpeters I have to use, the better for my cpu. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
