Using urllib2 for Python3 [closed]

Question

I wanted to use urllib2 for python 3, but I don't think it's available in such name.

I use urllib.request, is there another way to use urllib2?

Answer 1

urllib2 in Python 3 has been split into several modules:

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.

urllib.request is what you want to use for issuing HTTP requests.

Alternatively, the open source Requests library provides a simpler and cleaner API for making HTTP requests in both Python 2 and 3.
