Martin Panter added the comment: Assuming you meant http://www.python.org/ (added the www), I cannot produce any error with any example that requests directly to the site. The “http:” server already redirects to “https:”, so there is no problem. Obviously the examples that depend on made-up servers like proxy.example.com are going to fail.
In particular, the second FancyURLopener example works for me. Modified slightly to avoid copious output: $ python3.5 -bWall Python 3.5.0 (default, Sep 20 2015, 11:28:25) [GCC 5.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import urllib.request >>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener({}) __main__:1: DeprecationWarning: FancyURLopener style of invoking requests is deprecated. Use newer urlopen functions/methods >>> with opener.open("http://www.python.org/") as f: ... response = f.read().decode('utf-8') ... >>> response[:100] '<!doctype html>\n<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie6 lt-ie7 lt-ie8 lt-ie9"> <![endif]-->\n<!-' Please try this in the plain Python interpreter rather than I-Python, or be more specific about what you are trying to do and what the result is. BTW I dunno what the FancyUrlopener example is doing there. In the Python 3 documentation, FancyURLopener is not introduced until the “Legacy interface” section later on. Perhaps the example should be moved. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
