[maemo-developers] strange urllib2 error , Is this a bug ? if so any way to resolve it

[From: Amit Sethi]

ok , I ran another test  and tried to use google's ip and it works
fine .By the way ... in the last part of my previous mail i am not
using the domain name so it does not matter , just ignore it . I
though it would be helpful if I give the whole trace so:
[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > python2.5

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 1082, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>


P.S: Should urllib2 even handle name resolution ???
