When I use Chinese as URL parameter，it doesn't work with python

Question

url='https://www.bing.com/search?q=你好&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=你好&sc=2-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=8F0865226C'
urllib.request.urlopen(url)

Then console shows this:

You will need to encode the double byte chars with quote from urllib.parse.

import urllib.request
from urllib.parse import quote

url='https://www.bing.com/search?q=%s&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=%s&sc=2-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=8F0865226C'%(quote('你好'),quote('你好'))
urllib.request.urlopen(url)

OP is using Python 3 - strings are unicode and do not require the `u` prefix. – mhawke May 09 '16 at 09:44
Didn't realise it is tagged as Python 3. I have removed the first part about the "u" prefix – Alex Fung May 09 '16 at 09:48
Again. OP is using Python 3. `urllib.urlopen()` is from Python 2. – mhawke May 09 '16 at 09:53
follow your tips,but console show that AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'timeout' – C.J May 09 '16 at 10:11
