Ok, urllib.quote worked just fine, and of course so did urllib.pathname2url.
I should have run a dir() on urllib. Those functions don't appear in http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html Now, how might one go about calculating the New York time off-set from GMT? The server is in the U.S. but time.localtime() is giving me GMT. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
