Getting HTTP responses - a python linkchecking script.

Hi Folks,
I'm thinking about writing a script that can be run over a whole site
and produce a report about broken links etc...
I've been playing with the urllib2 and httplib modules as a starting
point and have found that with urllib2 it doesn't seem possible to get
HTTP status codes.
I've had more success with httplib...
Firstly I create a new HTTPConnection object with a given hostname and
port then I try connecting to the host and catch any socket errors
which I can assume mean the server is either down or doesn't exist at
this place anymore.
If the connection was successful I try requesting the resource in
question, I then get the response and check the status code.
So, I've got the tools I need to do the job sufficiently. Just
wondering whether anybody can recommend any alternatives.
Cheers,
-Blair
