no module named urllib.parse (How should I install it?)

Question

I\'m trying to run a REST API on CentOS 7, I read urllib.parse is in Python 3 but I\'m using Python 2.7.5 so I don\'t know how to install this module.

I installed al

Answer 1

The urlparse in Python 2.7.11 was renamed to urllib.parse in Python 3. So, if you have a code such from urlparse import urlparse, I suggest you change it to from urllib.parse import urlparse Since you are using python 2.7.5, using the below will solve your poblem

from urlparse import urlparse

Instead of from urllib.parse import urlparse

Answer 2

python3 supports urllib.parse and python2 supports urlparse

If you want both compatible then the following code can help.

import sys

if ((3, 0) <= sys.version_info <= (3, 9)):
    from urllib.parse import urlparse
elif ((2, 0) <= sys.version_info <= (2, 9)):
    from urlparse import urlparse

Update: Change if condition to support higher versions if (3, 0) <= sys.version_info:.

Answer 3

The problem was because I had a lower version of Django (1.4.10), so Django Rest Framework need at least Django 1.4.11 or bigger. Thanks for their answers guys!

Answer 4

With the information you have provided, your best bet will be to use Python 3.x.

Your error suggests that the code may have been written for Python 3 given that it is trying to import urllib.parse. If you've written the software and have control over its source code, you should change the import to:

from urlparse import urlparse

urllib was split into urllib.parse, urllib.request, and urllib.error in Python 3.

I suggest that you take a quick look at software collections in CentOS if you are not able to change the imports for some reason. You can bring in Python 3.3 like this:

1. yum install centos­-release­-SCL
2. yum install python33
3. scl enable python33

Answer 5

For python 3 pip install urllib

find the utils.py in %PYTHON_HOME%\Lib\site-packages\solrcloudpy\utils.py

change the import urlparse to

from urllib import parse as urlparse

Answer 6

Install six, the Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library:

$ sudo -H pip install six

Use it:

from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlparse
