Hi there, I'm sure I reported this before, but it's a couple of major releases later, and there's still no usage docs for urllib2. The examples given are too trivial to be helpful, but I'm guessing people are using the module so there must be some examples out there somewhere ;-) With a bit o fhelp from Moshez, I found the docstring in the module source. At the very least, it'd be handy if that appeared somewhere at: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html But really, mroe extensive and helpful documentation on this cool new module would be very handy.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Are you willing to provide examples? |

Logged In: YES user_id=24723 I'm certainly willing, but I am totally incapable :-S The reason I opened this issue is because it would seem that urllib2 is better the urllib, but seems to be severely underdocumented, and hence I don't understand how to use it and so can't provide examples. As I said in the original submission, including the module's docstring in the Python module documentation would be a start, but doesn't cover what appears to be the full potential of a great module... |

Logged In: YES user_id=261020 Examples for urllib2 were added some time ago, so I suggest this bug is closed. |

Logged In: YES user_id=24723 Where are these examples you're referring to? I don't see any at: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html I've already commented that the existing ones in the docstring would be a start but still don't really much help in taking full advantage of this module. |

Logged In: YES user_id=24723 I still feel there could be more. I guess the best course, for me, would be to leave this open but at a really low priority. However, I probably wouldn't scream too much if the issue was closed. |

Logged In: YES user_id=261020 Do you have any specific suggestions for what is unhelpful and/or missing? Otherwise, nothing is likely to change. Note that a little was added at the bottom of this page in 2.4, explaining how OpenerDirector uses the handlers to open URLs: http://docs.python.org/lib/opener-director-objects.html Looking at the top-level page, I guess an introduction / overview would help? Did you have other stuff in mind too? |

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Chris, I concur with jjlee that suggesting examples is the best way to get something done. Perhaps, if you're using urllib2, you could flesh out some examples from your code? |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 fresh, you haven't responded to jjlee's questions from 2006-04-17 16:26, so it is unclear what precisely it is that you want. In absence of a specific problem description, I'm closing this as "works for me". |
