Python 3.2 - cookielib

Question

I have working 2.7 code, however there are no such thing as cookielib and urllib2 in 3.2? How can I make this code work on 3.2? In case someone is wondering - I'm on Windows.

Example 2.7

import urllib, urllib2, cookielib  cj = cookielib.CookieJar() opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))  login_data = urllib.urlencode({'login' : 'admin', 'pass' : '123'})  resp = opener.open('http://website/', login_data) html = resp.read()  # I know that 3.2 is using print(), don't have to point that out. print html 

Answer 1

As mentioned above cookielib has been renamed, use the following snippet for both python 2 and 3:

try:     from http.cookiejar import CookieJar except ImportError:     from cookielib import CookieJar 

Answer 2

From Python docs:

Note The cookielib module has been renamed to http.cookiejar in Python 3.0. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to 3.0.

Is that not an acceptable solution? If not, why?
