The build_opener() function of urllib2 is speciofied as: urllib2.build_opener([handler, ...]) I think it should be: urllib2.build_opener(handler, ...) see http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html?highlight=build_opener

I believe those square brackets mean "supplying handlers is optional", but even so it'd be very ambiguous.

Why is that ambiguous? Can you come up with a better short form?

And that is how it is at all others places too. Optionals are placed inside [].

Georg, I think this can be closed as invalid. Thanks.
