Because you re using Python 3 1  you need to use the new Python 3 1 APIs   Try   urllib request urlopen  http   www python org      Alternately  it looks like you re working from Python 2 examples  Write it in Python 2  then use the 2to3 tool to convert it  On Windows  2to3 py is in  python31 tools scripts  Can someone else point out where to find 2to3 py on other platforms   Edit  These days  I write Python 2 and 3 compatible code by using six   from six moves import urllib urllib request urlopen  http   www python org     Assuming you have six installed  that runs on both Python 2 and Python 3
