I am getting the above error, while running the below mentioned code.please help to fix this.

import requests

r=requests.get('https://www.python.org/')
print(r)

r=requests.get('https://www.python.org/')

in you script, r is a structure. you need to take an element
print(r.text) or print(r.content)
use text for, well... text
content if binary
but only if:
r.status_code == 200
