Hi all,
My apologises if this is not the appropriate group.
I'd like to access a web site from a python script. That page, in fact,
is a form of main page. With a browser (Firefox, for instance) I can do
it without problem: I open the main web whose url is:
'http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSim...=busquedaisbn&layout=busquedaisbn&language=es'
and then, from the same (or another tab) I open the form (it's a book
database and the ISBN is the relevant parameter) whose url is:
'http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSim...=8484031128&action=Buscar&layout=busquedaisbn'
So I get the information about the book.
But when I try to do the same from the script, I get a time-out
error -without time elapsing at all. This is the piece of the
script relevant for the subject:
#!/usr/bin/python
# coding: latin-1
import os, sys
import types
import time
import string
import fileinput
import re
import urllib
mcup =
urllib.urlopen('http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSim...=busquedaisbn&layout=busquedaisbn&language=es')
# open main url
jonk = mcup.read() # read no matter
mcui =
urllib.urlopen('http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSim...=8484031128&action=Buscar&layout=busquedaisbn')
# open form for isbn
pagllibre = mcui.read() # reads it
print pagllibre # and print it
mcui.close() # close form
mcup.close() # close main page
Thanks in advance, I'd appreciate any help.
Regards,
Antoni Mont
