Python Open Multiple URL Connections - urllib2

I'm trying to create a python script that will allow me to load up multiple connections similar to having multiple tabs open on a browser, more explicitly I have a code like this:

https://github.com/eWizardII/SOC357-Twitter-Facebook-Project/blob/master/chuck.py

Using urlv, etc, I load up multiple connections to the API, however I want to make it so that I call all 5 at the same time instead of in succession. I have looked into things like twisted and tidy, but I don't know how to use them to help me.

Use the shell.

#!/bin/bash
python chuck.py "request 1" &
python chuck.py "request 2" &
python chuck.py "request 3" &
python chuck.py "request 4" &
python chuck.py "request 5" &

This will run 5 copies of your program. It will tie up as many cores and CPUs as it can. And -- bonus -- no programming using subprocess or threading or anything.

If all 5 are supposed to do somehow different things, then you'll have to provide some kind of arguments or options. Look into argparse for a way to gather command-line arguments.

You can create HttpHandlers to handle asynchronous http requests (asynchronous as far as your code is concerned, not when it comes to actual network operations).

Try this:

import urllib2

class MyHttpHandler(urllib2.HTTPHandler):
    def http_response(self, request, response):
        for l in response:
            print l
        return response

u = urllib2.build_opener(MyHttpHandler())
for i in range(1, 5):
    u.open('http://stackoverflow.com')

You can use the threading library. That is one of the things it is best suited.
