urllib2 works at the HTTP level, so it can't catch redirects that happen at the HTML level unfortunately. You'll have to parse the page, look for a <meta http-equiv="refresh" tag, and fetch the URL from it. That's a pretty simple parsing job, probably doable with regexes. But you're free to use a proper html parser of course.
