Python 3.2 Unable to import urllib2 (ImportError: No module named urllib2) [duplicate]


In python 3 urllib2 was merged into urllib. See also another Stack Overflow question and the urllib PEP 3108.

To make Python 2 code work in Python 3:

try:    import urllib.request as urllib2except ImportError:    import urllib2


PYTHON 3

import urllib.requestwp = urllib.request.urlopen("http://example.com")pw = wp.read()print(pw)

PYTHON 2

import urllib import sys wp = urllib.urlopen("http://example.com") for line in wp:     sys.stdout.write(line)

While I have tested both the Codes in respective versions.


    import urllib2

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

    import urllib2

ImportError: No module named 'urllib2'So urllib2 has been been replaced by the package : urllib.request.

Here is the PEP link (Python Enhancement Proposals )

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/#urllib-package

so instead of urllib2 you can now import urllib.request and then use it like this:

    >>>import urllib.request    >>>urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.placementyogi.com')
