Why I get urllib2.HTTPError with urllib2 and no errors with urllib?

The original urllib simply does not raise an exception on a 403 code. If you add print c.getcode() to the last line of your program urllib will reach it and still print out 403.

Wikipedia seems to be filtering out urllib2's default User-Agent. Just change it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
