Re: benchmark

I think what makes more sense is to compare the code one most
typically writes. In my case, I always use range() and never use psyco.
But I guess for most of my work with Python performance hasn't been
a issue. I haven't got to write any large systems with Python yet, where
performance starts to matter.

urllib fails to connect

[jlist]

I'm running ActiveState Python 2.5 on Windows XP. It used
to work fine. Today however I get (10061, 'Connection refused')
for any site I try with urllib.urlopen().

I found out why. I set a proxy in IE and I didn't know
ActiveState Python use IE proxy!

My guess is urllib.urlopen() wraps the wininet calls, which share
IE proxy settings.

Thanks. My problem was not how to use a proxy server but how
to not use the IE proxy :)

BTW, I'm not a fan of the way urllib2 uses a proxy particularly.
I think it's really unneccesarily complicated. I think it should be
something like this:
def urlopen(url, proxy='')

And if you want to use a proxy, set one in the call.

switching to urllib2, installing the proxy opener, worked for me.
here is the sample. variable names are self explanatory

import urllib2
proxy=urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http":'http://'+proxyuser+':'+proxypass+'@'+httpproxy})
opener=urllib2.build_opener(proxy, urllib2.HTTPHandler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
req = urllib2.Request(url, form, headers)
fd = urllib2.urlopen(req)
print fd.code, fd.info(), fd.read()
