prayerUrl = "http://www.islamicfinder.org/prayerDetail.php?country=australia&city=perth_city&state=08&zipcode=&lang="
sock = urllib.urlopen(prayerUrl)
html = sock.read()
sock.close()

parser = TBLParser()
parser.feed(html)
parser.close()

for row in parser.rows:
for col in row:
print "%5.5s" % col,
print "\n"
