There is batteries-included urllib.request described as 'Extensible library for opening URLs' in Python documentation.
If you do:
import urllib.request then you can access urlopen like this:
urllib.request.urlopen() Alternatively just
urlopen (if using from urllib.request import urlopen)

The import has changed in Python 3.
>>> import urllib.request
>>>
>>> req = urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.python.org/')But i would advice to not use urllib at all,use Requests .>>> import requests
>>>
>>> req = requests.get('https://www.python.org/')
>>> req.status_code
200
>>> req.encoding
'utf-8'A typically example to load a site and do web-scraping.from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
url = 'https://www.python.org/'
url_get = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(url_get.content, 'lxml')
print(soup.select('head > title')[0].text)Output:Welcome to Python.org
