Import error: No module name urllib2

Question

Here\'s my code:

import urllib2.request

response = urllib2.urlopen(\"http://www.google.com\")
html = response.read()
print(html)

Any help?

Answer 1

NOTE: urllib2 is no longer available in Python 3

You can try following code.

import urllib.request 
res = urllib.request.urlopen('url')
output = res.read()
print(output)

You can get more idea about urllib.request from this link.

Using :urllib3

import urllib3
http = urllib3.PoolManager()
r = http.request('GET', 'url')
print(r.status)
print( r.headers)
print(r.data)

Also if you want more details about urllib3. follow this link.

Answer 2

That worked for me in python3:

import urllib.request
htmlfile = urllib.request.urlopen("http://google.com")
htmltext = htmlfile.read()
print(htmltext)

Answer 3

The above didn't work for me in 3.3. Try this instead (YMMV, etc)

import urllib.request
url = "http://www.google.com/"
request = urllib.request.Request(url)
response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)
print (response.read().decode('utf-8'))
