I installed anaconda for Python 3.6 in MacOs Sierra. It comes with its own python and it changed the default python to this new one.

Now, I am not able to import anything from urllib.

Here is a snippet of my terminal.

Can someone give some suggestions?

devassy@mydire $ python

  • i have the same python installed with Anaconda and it works fine, What is urllib and does it need to be installed using conda? – Natsfan Aug 27 '18 at 22:32
  • Check out this link about urllib: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34475051/need-to-install-urllib2-for-python-3-5-1 – Natsfan Aug 27 '18 at 22:37
  • Did you ever resolved this issue? I'm finding myself with the same error, only I get it while compiling python trying to build _scproxy – Fanchi Dec 11 '18 at 15:39
  • @Fanchi Yes I resolved it. I had to uninstall my original python (2.7) and install python 3.6 in my system. – Coniferous Dec 12 '18 at 08:33
