Need to install urllib2 for Python 3 5 1

Question

I m running Python 3 5 1 for Mac  I want to use urllib2 module  I tried installing it but I was told that it s been split into urllib request and urllib error for Python 3    My command  running from the framework bin directory for now because it s not in my path    sudo   pip3 install urllib request   Returns this   Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement urllib request  from versions    No matching distribution found for urllib request   I got the same error before when I tried to install urllib2 in one fell swoop

In Python 3  urllib2 was replaced by two in-built modules named urllib request and urllib error  Adapted from source  So replace this  import urllib2  With this  import urllib request as urllib2

WARNING  Security researches have found several poisoned packages on PyPI  including a package named urllib  which will  phone home  when installed  If you used pip install urllib some time after June 2017  remove that package as soon as possible    You can t  and you don t need to   urllib2 is the name of the library included in Python 2  You can use the urllib request library included with Python 3  instead  The urllib request library works the same way urllib2 works in Python 2  Because it is already included you don t need to install it   If you are following a tutorial that tells you to use urllib2 then you ll find you ll run into more issues  Your tutorial was written for Python 2  not Python 3  Find a different tutorial  or install Python 2 7 and continue your tutorial on that version  You ll find urllib2 comes with that version   Alternatively  install the requests library for a higher-level and easier to use API  It ll work on both Python 2 and 3

Acording to the docs      Note The urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3 named urllib request and urllib error  The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3     So it appears that it is impossible to do what you want but you can use appropriate python3 functions from urllib request
