This is a simple Python program I wrote. I hope some one could help me optimize this program. If you found any bad habits, please tell me. #!/usr/bin/python import urllib2 def GetURLs(srcURL=""): if srcURL == "": return -1 Content = urllib2.urlopen(srcURL, None, 6) oneLine = Content.readline() while oneLine: print oneLine oneLine = Content.readline() Content.close() return 0 GetURLs("http://www.baidu.com")
