read from URL

[Kez323]

Hey all!

I'm trying to get this script to get text from a local webpage. The page will return a number which I then want python to print out. Sounds fairly easy! but I'm getting errors and I don't know why..

Heres my code:

Code: Select all

import urllib

url = "http://localhost/pi/green.php/"
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = response.read()
print data

The error im getting is this:

[Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol

Thanks!!

Not in a position to test this but get rid of the forward slash at the end of the URL ie.

Code: Select all

url = "http://localhost/pi/green.php"

Your script works ok for me using this URL:

http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php/

So the problem is now the contents of your green.php
page,
There'a lot of matches on google for errorno97
including IMAP servers, hostname addresses
and so on. Link below may help
