Simpel Python script om de huidige NRC Next PDF te downloaden en te openen (voor NRC Next abonnees)

nrcnextfetch.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

from sys import argv, exc_info
from mechanize import Browser
from datetime import datetime
from subprocess import call

pdfreader = '/usr/bin/okular'

if len(argv) == 3:
    try:
        datestring =  datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d')

        br = Browser()
        br.open('https://login.nrc.nl/login?service=http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/digitaleeditie/')

        br.select_form(nr=0)
        br['username'], br['password'] = argv[1], argv[2]
        br.submit()

        print 'Retrieving PDF file ...'
        pdffile = br.retrieve('http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/digitaleeditie/helekrant/fullpdf/%s_NRC_Next.pdf' % datestring)[0]
        call([pdfreader, pdffile])

    except:
        print "ERROR: %s" % exc_info()[1]

else:
    print 'USAGE: python file.py <username> <password>'

Ik krijg:
ERROR: HTTP Error 405: Method Not Allowed

Simply removing ?service=http://digitaleeditie.nrc.nl/digitaleeditie/ from the br.open() command dit the trick...

Works - thanks!
