hi
I made the upgrade to python 2.4.3 from 2.4.2.
I want to take from google news some atom feeds with a funtion like
this
import urllib2
def takefeed(url):
request=urllib2.Request(url)
request.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5;
Windows NT')
opener
This is the problem when I run the function
this is the result from 2.3.5

Thanks Serge.
It's a gzip string.
So the code is
>>> import urllib2
>>> def takefeed(url):
request=urllib2.Request(url)
request.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
5.5;Windows NT')
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
data=opener.open(request).read()
here you'll find it in svn.
