The lines below are the essence of a 2.6 script that gets the current USD/yen quote.
I'd like to convert the script to 3.1, but I can't understand the docs for the 3.1 urllib module. Please someone tell me what to do. (Converting 'print rate' to 'print(rate)' I understand.) import urllib2 a = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500) b = a[19000:20500] idx_pricewrap = b.find('pricewrap') context = b[idx_pricewrap:idx_pricewrap+80] idx_bgLast = context.find('bgLast') rate = context[idx_bgLast+8:idx_bgLast+15] print rate Thanks, Dick Moores _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
