Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I have some lines of code, I want to get all html from the some website to detect some data. I try code as below:
import urllib
stream = urllib.urlopen("https://www.facebook.com")
content = stream.read()
print(content)
But I get an exception AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlopen' when I run code above.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
stream = urllib.urlopen("https://www.facebook.com")
AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlopen'
And I am using python 3.8.2
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Have 2 answer(s) found.

Your code only work for version 2.x.
An with python 3.x you can change
import urllibtoimport urllib.request as url. See example below:import urllib.request as url stream = url.urlopen("https://www.facebook.com") content = stream.read() print(content)And it worked for you.
