Note that this is the documentation for Python 2, which is obsolescent. It has had a long life, so references to Python on the web are still dominantly about that legacy version. Your confusion is quite normal. Instead, use Python 3 only (which it seems you are doing), and read the Python 3 documentation. You'll find that the ‘urllib’ modules <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.html> are what you want. > I don't get it; I just don't get it. It's unfortunate that a lot of new Python users will be confused by this long transition. But the situation is a lot better now; more and more Python articles on the web are referring to Python 3 which is the actively-developed version, recommended for new users. -- \ “You don't need a book of any description to help you have some | `\ kind of moral awareness.” —Dr. Francesca Stavrakoloulou, bible | _o__) scholar, 2011-05-08 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
