Suppose you have following lines of code

MyUrl = "www.google.com" #Your url goes here
urllib.urlretrieve(MyUrl)

If you are receiving following error message

AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlretrieve'

Then you should try following code to fix the issue:

import urllib.request
MyUrl = "www.google.com" #Your url goes here
urllib.request.urlretrieve(MyUrl)

As you re using Python 3  there is no urllib module anymore  It has been split into several modules   This would be equivalent to urlretrieve   import urllib request data   urllib request urlretrieve  http           urlretrieve behaves exactly the same way as it did in Python 2 x  so it ll work just fine   Basically    urlretrieve saves the file to a temporary file and returns a tuple  filename  headers  urlopen returns a Request object whose read method returns a bytestring containing the file contents

A Python 2 3 compatible solution is   import sys  if sys version info 0   gt   3      from urllib request import urlretrieve else        Not Python 3 - today  it is most likely to be Python 2       But note that this might need an update when Python 4       might be around one day     from urllib import urlretrieve    Get file from URL like this  urlretrieve  http   www-scf usc edu  chiso oldspice m-b1-hello mp3
