Getting HTML with Pycurl

Viewed 22474

I've been trying to retrieve a page of HTML using pycurl, so I can then parse it for relevant information using str.split and some for loops. I know Pycurl retrieves the HTML, since it prints it to the terminal, however, if I try to do something like

html = str(c.perform())  

The variable will just hold a string which says "None".

How can I use pycurl to get the html, or redirect whatever it sends to the console so it can be used as a string as described above?

Thanks a lot to anyone who has any suggestions!
