Python program works on desktop, fails on iPAQ - help needed

Help!

:-)

Anyone got any clues why this program works fine (well - pretty fine, it's a
bit rough still) on my desktop running either Linux (Python 2.0) or Solaris
(Python 1.5.2) but dies on my iPAQ with the following trace:

--------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/dumpurl", line 6, in ?
    f = urllib.urlopen(sys.argv[1])
  File "/home/guest/edwardam/cmp2/py2/lib/python2.0/urllib.py", line 55, in urlopen
  File "/home/guest/edwardam/cmp2/py2/lib/python2.0/urllib.py", line 137, in open
  File "/home/guest/edwardam/cmp2/py2/lib/python2.0/urllib.py", line 237, in open_http

  File "/home/guest/edwardam/cmp2/py2/lib/python2.0/urllib.py", line 724, in __init__
AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'read'
--------------------
(It's nice to use X cut'n'paste and scp to be able to pull that off the iPAQ)

I can only guess it's a module dependency problem - probably beyond my
skills.

Yes, I know the code isn't great and could do with some more error checking
- I'm still working on it...

Cheers
Richard
