AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'
This works in Python 2.x.
For Python 3 look in the docs:
import urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.python.org") as url:
s = url.read()
# I'm guessing this would output the html source code ?
print(s)
To get 'dataX = urllib.urlopen(url).read()' working in python3 (this would have been correct for python2) you must just change 2 little things.
1: The urllib statement itself (add the .request in the middle):
dataX = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
2: The import statement preceding it (change from 'import urlib' to:
import urllib.request
And it should work in python3 :)
import urllib.request as ur
s = ur.urlopen("http://www.google.com")
sl = s.read()
print(sl)
In Python v3 the "urllib.request" is a module by itself, therefore "urllib" cannot be used here.
A Python 2+3 compatible solution is:
import sys
if sys.version_info[0] == 3:
from urllib.request import urlopen
else:
# Not Python 3 - today, it is most likely to be Python 2
# But note that this might need an update when Python 4
# might be around one day
from urllib import urlopen
# Your code where you can use urlopen
with urlopen("http://www.python.org") as url:
s = url.read()
print(s)
