Would appreciate any more thoughts you might have. I once had similar unexplainable problems. An "http_proxy" environment variable finally turned out to be the culprit.
If not, I would look at the complete traceback for your exception. The error message is completely clear: "Connection refused". "urlopen" tries to connect to a host/port where there is no server. With the traceback, I would locate the precise code line and instrument it to find out where "urlopen" tries to connect to. Dieter
