[lxml-dev] parse unable to load url

[Mary Lei]

I copied sample code from lxml documentation

#! /stage/irsa-sw-dev/cm/env_1.4_mnt/python/bin/python

import urllib
import urllib2
import urlparse
import os
import popen2
import StringIO
import sys, getopt
import re
import string

version = sys.version_info

print "python version: ", version

print os.environ['PYTHONPATH']

## test with lxml
from lxml import etree

from lxml.html import fromstring, tostring, parse, submit_form
#page = parse('http://tinyurl.com').getroot()
page = parse('/home/lei/python-stuff/tmp_CoRoT_exo_index.html').getroot()
print page

page = parse('http://tinyurl.com').getroot()

And got errors when parsing url, local file is ok
