Python-urllib/1.15

more RR

[wilderness]

Had two separate RR visitors tonight.
Both were denied because of the previously mentioned RR blocks.
This UA looks new to me.

24.26.101.155 - - [27/Aug/2002:18:06:01 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 - "-" "Python-urllib/1.15"

The other a bit srange.
24.208.248.150

Python is a programing toolkit. This is the default identifier
for anyone using the toolkit. See [lib.uchicago.edu...]

You can find this (and others) listed on my site at
[jafsoft.com...]

The other just looks like an Internet Explorer 5.5 session. You often get random junk inside the identifier (no idea why). The IP
concerned seems to be just the user's ISP

Python is a programming language, that comes with a large number of useful libraries.
The urllib [python.org] (or the newer version urllib2 [python.org]) is one of them, and can be used to fetch data from URLs (surprise! ;))

there's also a more low-level httplib [python.org] module available, for those who need to fiddle with the connection details.

Among other things, the Python-URLlib has been seen in use by Google [webmasterworld.com].
