Python 3.5.1 urllib has no attribute request

Question

I have tried

import urllib.request 

or

import urllib 

The path for my urllib is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/__init__.py

I am wondering where is urlopen, or is my python module pointing to the wrong file?

Answer 1

According to this, you have to use the following:

import urllib.request 

The reason is:

With packages, like this, you sometimes need to explicitly import the piece you want. That way, the urllib module doesn't have to load everything up just because you wanted one small part.
