I have bs4 and urllib2 imported, and get the above error when trying to read that page. I can copy the url from the error message into my browser and get the page.Like the error says, unknown type. Prepend the type of the url, and it should work fine:page = urlopen('http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KDCA.html')
Yep, that was it. Thanks for the help. Now on to fight with BeautifulSoup
