Hi Devanyani, Change the name of your program to something other than 'urllib.py'. What's happening is that your program --- urllib.py --- has the same name as the urllib standard library module that you're trying to import. So the program ends up trying to import itself as a module, which is not what you want to do. Python doesn't yet have a nice way to distinguish between your own program modules and the standard library's module. This causes problems from time to time, and although it's going to be fixed as a part of PEP 328, that fix is still coming. Until then, you'll want to take special care not to name your program with a conflicting name. > also I tried to assign go_url as > > go_url="http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=%s&meta=lr\%3Dlang_en"; > %name > > It takes the % in "%3D" as a part of format is there a way I can overcome > this retaining the same manner of assinging? You'll want to look into the urllib.urlencode() function. See: http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-urllib.html for more details on it. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
