Note that my Python has a "Hyphen" between Python-urllib rather than a "Dot" Python.urllib.
If this is a new version/variant what would one need to do in order to permit it access to my 403 file?
Does the 'cased' Python URLlib - Python urllib have anything to do with it?
I'm not well versed on this stuff. Since Python has been covered extensively, I thought prudent to ban this one by IP Number for now and ask in case this particular user turns out to be abusive.
Thanks.

The problem is that your code has "Python\.urllib", and the code I posted has "Python.urllib". Therefore, your code only matches a literal "." and the code I posted matches any character between Python and Urllib.
Solution: Drop the "\" in front of the dot.
Jim
The recent adjustments took care of this one.
