urllib2 redirect error
Hi, I've tried versions of the following but continue to get errors: - snip - url = 'https://www.usps.com/send/official-abbreviations.htm' request = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPRedirectHandler).open(url) - snip - Generates an exception: urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 301: The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop. The last 30x error message was: Moved Permanently The following using the requests library hangs: - snip - response = requests.get(url) - snip - I'm fresh out of ideas and any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sumit -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
