    Need some help. How do I append company values ( for ex. 360, 2845) to the url and save each page with the key string ( like ADBL.html, AHPC.html) .

    #dict
    comp_dict = {'ADBL':'397', 'AHPC':'360', 'AKBSL':'2845', 'AKJCL':'2788', 'AKPL':'2757'}
    comp = comp_dict.values()
    compids = str(comp)

    url = "http://www.nepalstock.com.np/company/display/"

    with urllib.request.urlopen(url + compids) as url:

    out_file = open(compids[key] +".html", "w")

    out_file.close()
