"""
Create a function called wget, which takes a single argument -
a fully qualified URL (e.g. https://www.yahoo.com/).

The function must:
  1. Save the contents returned by that URL (the HTTP response body) into a
  file. The filename must be the same as the FQDN part of input URL. The file
  must be created in the current working directory (CWD).
  2. The value of the Content Type HTTP header must be returned as the function
    result, regardless of the actual HTTP code.
  3. The function documentation should read:
    Download the contents of an URL and return response's mimetype

HINT: Look into urlparse.urlparse() for FQDN retrieval.

For example:
  wget('https://yahoo.com/') -> 'text/html'
  # Creates/Rewrites a file called yahoo.com with the contents of yahoo.com

import urllib2
from urlparse import urlparse

def wget(*args):
    u = args
    obj = urlparse(url)
    fn = obj.netloc
    response = urllib2.urlopen(u)
    with open('fn','w') as f:
        f.write(response(read))
        f.close
url = 'http://yahoo.com/'
wget(url)

What am i doing wrong ...
I'm getting this error

Looks like it could be some 32bit/64bit mismatch, what bit is your o/s and what bit are your installs.

What bit(32/64) of Anaconda2 and Windows do you use?
As mention bye Yoriz,there is a mix-up in 32-bit 64-bit.
Because urllib is part of standard library,there is no mix-up in modules.
Then the mix-up probably higher level between Anaconda/Windows.

What version of python are you using?  urllib2 was a 2.x thing, and was renamed in 3.x.

...which is stated as the very first line of the docs.  They're good and easy to understand, I promise!

That's not the problem here.
If use urllib2 in Python 3.x,
then this error would have been thrown before the error he gets.
