Not much to add but sympathy...I occasionally see this error also when reading web pages from public servers. My read on the bug report is - they think it is an error in the data coming from the server - they don't know the right way to fix it So, has anything changed on the servers you are pinging? an upgrade to a new version or change to a different server? I guess you could try the patch, I haven't been that adventurous. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
