    You need to bind the resultant file-like object to a variable, otherwise the interpreter just dumps it via repr:

    >>> import urllib2
>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
<addinfourl at 18362520 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b250>>
>>> 
>>> f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
>>> f
<addinfourl at 18635448 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b950>>

    To get the actual data you need to perform a read().

    >>> data = f.read()
>>> data[:50]
'<!doctype html><html itemscope="itemscope" itemtyp'

    To see the headers returned:

    >>> print f.headers
