Python 3 solution

Question

I m using Python 3.1, if that helps.

Anyways, I m trying to get the contents of this webpage. I Googled for a little bit and tried different things, but they didn t work. I m guessing that this should be an easy task, but...I can t get it. :/.

Results of urllib, urllib2:

>>> import urllib2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import urllib2
ImportError: No module named urllib2
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org")
AttributeError:  module  object has no attribute  urlopen 
>>>

Python 3 solution

Thank you, Jason. :D.

import urllib.request
page = urllib.request.urlopen( http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore/ranking?table=0&category_type=0&time_filter=0&date=1519066080774&user=zezima )
print(page.read())

Answer 1

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 oolsscripts. 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.

Answer 2

If you re writing a project which installs packages from PyPI, then the best and most common library to do this is requests. It provides lots of convenient but powerful features. Use it like this:

import requests
response = requests.get( http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=zezima )
print (response.status_code)
print (response.content)

But if your project does not install its own dependencies, i.e. is limited to things built-in to the standard library, then you should consult one of the other answers.

Answer 3

If you ask me. try this one

import urllib2
resp = urllib2.urlopen( http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=zezima )

and read the normal way ie

page = resp.read()

Good luck though

Answer 4

Mechanize is a great package for "acting like a browser", if you want to handle cookie state, etc.

Answer 5

You can use urlib2 and parse the HTML yourself.

Or try Beautiful Soup to do some of the parsing for you.

Answer 6

Also you can use faster_than_requests package. That s very fast and simple:

import faster_than_requests as r
content = r.get2str("http://test.com/")

Look at this comparison:

Answer 7

A solution with works with Python 2.X and Python 3.X:

try:
    # For Python 3.0 and later
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError:
    # Fall back to Python 2 s urllib2
    from urllib2 import urlopen

url =  http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=zezima 
response = urlopen(url)
data = str(response.read())

Answer 8

Suppose you want to GET a webpage s content. The following code does it:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# python

# example of getting a web page

from urllib import urlopen
print urlopen("http://xahlee.info/python/python_index.html").read()
