Who knows what Google has done... it won't open in Opera.  The tab title 
shows up, but after 20-30 seconds the screen just stays blank and the 
cursor quits loading.

It's a mess - try running it thru BeautifulSoup.prettify() and it looks 
better.

------------------------------------------------------------
import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
webfile = "D:\\afile.html"
urllib.urlretrieve("https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.python/jFl3GJbmR7A",webfile)
f = open(webfile)
soup = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(f)
f.close()
print soup.prettify()
