In Python 3.x, `urlopen` is located in the `request` sub module. In short, use `from urllib.request import urlopen`. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Sep 04 '16 at 11:52
@Jim: Thanks Jim, but when i tried to import like this, from urllib.request import urllib....its throwing import type error. like cannot import urllib. please suggest – learning python Sep 04 '16 at 11:59
It is `from urllib.request import urlopen` not `from urllib.request import urllib`. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Sep 04 '16 at 12:00
@Jim: so sorryyyyyyyyy – learning python Sep 04 '16 at 12:01
@Jim: name 'urllib' is not defined : Name error occur – learning python Sep 04 '16 at 12:03
Well, you imported `urlopen` so `urllib` is not in your namespace now. You need to change your line `u=urllib.urlopen('http://bata.in/bataindia/c-5553_cl-2/men/boots.html')` to `u=urlopen('http://bata.in/bataindia/c-5553_cl-2/men/boots.html')` – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Sep 04 '16 at 12:04
@Jim: Thanks a lot Jim. :) – learning python Sep 04 '16 at 12:08
You're welcome. If you're just starting out, take a look at the [tutorial](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html) on the main python site. It covers a great deal of what the language offers. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Sep 04 '16 at 12:13
