Dear tutors,
I have written below function to open the profanity check url and then
to check for profanity in some text. When I go to the url
http://www.wdylike.appspot.com/?q= and type in the same text, it works
fine.
I am using Microsoft OS X and Python 3.5.2 Interpreter with Pycharm
Community Edition.
---
import urllib.request
def check_profanity(some_text):
# check text for a curse word
connection =
urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.wdylike.appspot.com/?q="+some_text)
output = connection.read()
print(output)
connection.close()
check_profanity(some_text="I gave it a good shot")
---
Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Administrator/PycharmProjects/Udacity/profanity_check.py",

in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Process finished with exit code 1

However when I run the code it just says Bad Request. I tried to read
into the traceback message but it refers not only to my file but the
urllib function itself too and I can't understand.
Please kindly help me guide to debug the code.
Thank you,
Amy L
