I have these lines of code

url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=Detroit,%20Us";
json_obj = urllib2.urlopen(url);
data = json.load(json_obj);

print data;

This works on my computer at home, but when I try it on my school computer, it gives me the error:

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed>

I have no clue why this happens. My computer at home runs version 2.7.6 and at school we have 2.7.3.1, idk if this helps.

Can you show code of error? – Valeriy Gaydar Jan 06 '15 at 15:26
Are you behind a proxy? (also, you don't need `;` at the end of lines in python) – fredtantini Jan 06 '15 at 15:27

I think @fredtantini means *behind* a proxy, which would also be my guess as to your problem :-) – cms_mgr Jan 06 '15 at 15:28
Your school computer is not allowed to connect to api.openweathermap.org, it appears. – Martijn Pieters Jan 06 '15 at 15:29

The link works on my school browser, and i can access the http://openweathermap.org/API too. – John K Jan 06 '15 at 15:55
