AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'

Question

I'm trying to use Python to download the HTML source code of a website but I'm receiving this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Sergio.Tapia\Documents\NetBeansProjects\DICParser\src\WebDownload.py", line 3, in file = urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'

I'm following the guide here: http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/HTML.html

import urllib

file = urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org")
s = file.read()
f.close()

#I'm guessing this would output the html source code?
print(s)

I'm using Python 3, thanks for the help!

Answer 1

This works in Python 2.x.

For Python 3 look here:

http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/urllib.request.html?highlight=urllib#urllib.request.urlopen

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)
