function that gets the current temperature

import urllib # We need to import the URL library

def findTemperatureLive():
  #Just like opening, reading and then closing a file
  connection = urllib.urlopen("http://www.ajc.com/weather")
  weather = connection.read()
  connection.close()

  # Now that the contents of the web page are in a string, finding
  # the temperature is the same as it was for the version where the
  # string was read from a local HTML file.
  weather.find("Currently")
  if currentlyIndex <> -1:
    degreeIndex = weather.find("<b>&deg;", currentlyIndex)
    lessThanIndex = weather.rfind(">", 0, degreeIndex)
    return weather[lessThanIndex + 1:degreeIndex]
  if currentlyIndex == -1:
    return “Can't find the temp"
