Error Code: 1

[percyy30]

Hiya - Have been trying to run urllib but have been encountering errors - I have delved into it, it appears that I do not have the http package installed. However, since then I have installed - setup tools, wheel, eztools & ezsetup with all versions up to date (pip also up to date) - I still get the same error message when trying to install http 'python setup.py egg_info id not run successfully exit code:1

any help would be much appreciated :)

Output:
pip install http
Collecting http
  Using cached http-0.02.tar.gz (32 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

This is package that is not updated since 2012

I don't think you want to install it.
What python version do you use? Also show your code where you try use urllib, incl. full traceback you get.

Python version 3.12.0

code used:

import urllib3.request

fhand = urllib3.request.urlopen('http://data.pr4e.org/romeo.txt')
for line in fhand:
    print(line.decode().strip())

It pulls back the contents for a completely different website:

Why should you learn to write programs?

Writing programs (or programming) is a very creative
and rewarding activity. You can write programs
for
many reasons, ranging from making your living to solving
a difficult data analysis problem to having fun to helping
someone else solve a problem. This book assumes that
everyone needs to know how to program, and that once
you know how to program you will figure out what you want
to do with your newfound skills.

Use Requests for this.

import requests

url = "https://data.pr4e.org/romeo.txt"
response = requests.get(url)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text.strip())

# Download the file
with open('romeo.txt', 'wb') as fp:
    fp.write(response.content)

Output:
200
But soft what light through yonder window breaks
It is the east and Juliet is the sun
Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief

Couple of issues with your code:

1. Don't name your file urllib.py
2. [It look like] you want to use urllib.requests from standard library, not third-party package urllib3 which you have to install via pip and which does not have urllib3.request.urlopen

import urllib.request
 
fhand = urllib.request.urlopen('http://data.pr4e.org/romeo.txt')
for line in fhand:
    print(line.decode().strip())

All that said, and as recommended in the docs and also by @snippsat - install and use requests package

Uninstall the package that you installed first
pip uninstall http

Thanks for getting back to me (file names changed) - I have uninstalled urllib3 and used the code you provided and get the following output and traceback:
