hi , I need help as to how i can fetch a wikipedia article i tried changing
my user agent but it did not work . Although as far as my knowledge of
robots.txt goes , looking at en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt it does not seem it
should block a useragent (*, which is what i would normally use) from
accesing a simple article like say "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachin_Tendulkar"; but still robotparser returns
false
status=rp.can_fetch("*", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachin_Tendulkar";)
where rp is a robot parser object . why is that?
