I would like to import urllib to use the function 'request'. However, I encountered an error when trying to do so. I tried pip install urllib but still had the same error. I am using Python 3.6. Really appreciate any help.
i do import urllib.request using this code:
import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error
fhand = urllib.request.urlopen(')
counts = dict()
for line in fhand: words = line.decode().split()
for word in words: counts[word] = counts.get(word, 0) + 1
print(counts) but it gives me this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'urllib.parse'; 'urllib' is not a package
here is a screenshot for the error

urllib is a standard library, you do not have to install it. Simply import urllib
urllib is a standard python library (built-in) so you don't have to install it. just import it if you need to use request by:
import urllib.requestif it's not work maybe you compiled python in wrong way, so be kind and give us more details.
4The corrected code is
import urllib.request
fhand = urllib.request.urlopen(')
counts = dict()
for line in fhand: words = line.decode().split()
for word in words: counts[word] = counts.get(word, 0) + 1
print(counts) running the code above produces
{'Who': 1, 'is': 1, 'already': 1, 'sick': 1, 'and': 1, 'pale': 1, 'with': 1, 'grief': 1}This happens because your local module named urllib.py shadows the installed requests module you are trying to use. The current directory is preapended to sys.path, so the local name takes precedence over the installed name.
An extra debugging tip when this comes up is to look at the Traceback carefully, and realize that the name of your script in question is matching the module you are trying to import.
Rename your file to something else like url.py.
Then It is working fine.
Hope it helps!
