I have no idea what the condition is, but this is a relatively basic task. Have you learned much Python? Opening a file is just as easy as using the open() function, then using readlines() to get the whole content of the file in a list of lines. You're rather nebulous about what web request you mean, just getting the URL contents itself (IE getting the HTML)? Could you please be more specific as to what you're trying to do?

Something like this:

handle = open("urlfile.txt", "r")
outfile = open("output.txt", "w")
for line in handle.readlines():
    url_content = urllib.urlopen("{url}#name={name}".format(url = line[:-1], name = some_name))
    # used [:-1] in line to remove the ending \n from line for the url, else you'd have bad formatting.
    if (passed_condition(url_content)):
        outfile.write(line)

That code should get the contents of any URL and pass, as a URL argument, a name assigned to some_name. Again, I have no idea what passed_condition is, so I just left it as another function. Does this help, or is it something else you want?

This is your first attempt at programming in Python? Well, this is going to be a little more challenging then... what do you know about Python, are you familiar with control loops, creating objects, passing arguments to functions, etc.? If not, and you really need this program, I suggest you find someone who can write it for you for payment. If this is just a learning exercise, I think you should consider something a bit simpler until you understand the basic concepts of Python and can navigate multi-file programs.

A Fibonacci sequence generator is usually a good one to get started with, after the obligatory Hello World.
