As stated in the urllib2 documentation:
The urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3 named urllib.request and urllib.error. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3.
So you should instead be saying
from urllib.request import urlopen
html = urlopen(“http://www.google.com/”).read()
print(html)
Your current, now-edited code sample is incorrect because you are saying urllib.urlopen(“http://www.google.com/”) instead of just urlopen(“http://www.google.com/”).
For a script working with Python 2 (tested versions 2.7.3 and 2.6.8) and Python 3 (3.2.3 and 3.3.2+) try:
#! /usr/bin/env python
try:
# For Python 3.0 and later
from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError:
# Fall back to Python 2’s urllib2
from urllib2 import urlopen
html = urlopen(“http://www.google.com/”)
print(html.read())
