Attributeerror: 'Module' Object Has No Attribute 'Urlopen'

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'

This works in Python 2.x.

For Python 3 look in the docs:

import urllib.request

with urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.python.org") as url:
    s = url.read()
    # I'm guessing this would output the html source code ?
    print(s)

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

That does work for py2, but not for Python 3x. For Python 3x, urlopen is present in urllib.request:

import urllib.request

urllib.request.urlopen(...)

AttributeError: module 'urllib3' has no attribute 'urlopen' in python

If you want to send requests using urllib3, you need to create a pool manager first.

Alternatively, you could use the HTTP client in the Python standard library. Its urlopen function is called urllib.request.urlopen. Depending on what you are trying to do, the requests package might also be an option, but it has certain disadvantages when it comes to certificate management for HTTPS URLs (the built-in client will automatically use the system certificate store).

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'request'

The urllib module has been split into parts and renamed in Python 3 to urllib.request, urllib.parse, and urllib.error.

Import urllib.request instead of urllib.

import urllib.request

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'urllib.request' has no attribute ' urlopen' (most likely due to a circular import)

I faced the same issue earlier & here is the fix.

I used the name urlilib as my file name:

I changed my file name to some other words & it WORKED FOR ME! :)

Hope you find the answer to be simple & useful
