The data returned by urlopen() or urlretrieve() is the raw data returned by the server. This may be binary data (such as an image), plain text or (for example) HTML. The HTTP protocol provides type information in the reply header, which can be inspected by looking at the Content-Type header.
The urllib2 module defines functions and classes which help in opening URLs (mostly HTTP) in a complex world — basic and digest authentication, redirections, cookies and more. Open the URL url, which can be either a string or a Request object. HTTPS requests do not do any verification of the server's certificate.
The Python "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'" occurs because the urllib2 module has been split into urllib. request and urllib. response in Python 3. To solve the error, import the module as from urllib.
urllib2 is deprecated in python 3. x. use urllib instaed.
You need to bind the resultant file-like object to a variable, otherwise the interpreter just dumps it via repr:
>>> import urllib2
>>> urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
<addinfourl at 18362520 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b250>>
>>>
>>> f = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
>>> f
<addinfourl at 18635448 whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x106b950>>
To get the actual data you need to perform a read().
>>> data = f.read()
>>> data[:50]
'<!doctype html><html itemscope="itemscope" itemtyp'
To see the headers returned:
>>> print f.headers
