Bingo.  You can get around the automatic redirect by using the URLopener class:

def tryurl(url):
    import urllib, pprint
    try:
        u = urllib.URLopener()
        f = u.open(url)
        pprint.pprint(f.headers.dict)
        print f.read()
    except IOError, info:
        print 'Exception: ' + str(info)
        pprint.pprint(info[3].dict)

>>> tryurl('http://inet/InstallCalendar')
('http error', 301, 'Moved Permanently', <mimetools.Message instance at 82be30>)

{'connection': 'close',
 'content-type': 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1',
 'date': 'Fri, 23 Jun 2000 14:08:28 GMT',
 'location': 'http://inet.nameconnector.com/InstallCalendar/',
 'server': 'OpenSA/0.20 Apache/1.3.12 (Win32)'}
