It is not guaranteed that the host name will be 'www' though, is it? If you *really* want to strip the host portion of a domain name, I suppose you could make calls to whois until you get a match. For instance, a whois lookup on www.cnn.com will not find a match while a lookup on cnn.com will. hth, Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
