Is there a library for urllib2 for python which we can download?

Question

I need to use urllib2 with BeautifulSoup. I found the download file for BeautifulSoup and installed it, however, I couldn't find any download files for urllib2, is there another way to intall that module?

Answer 1

The module comes with Python, simply import it:

import urllib2

If you're using Python3, the urllib was replaced by urllib.request. The Urllib PEP (Python3): http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/#urllib-package.
