You are likely running some legacy Python 2 code that does not work in Python 3 anymore, because module urllib2 was changed.

More information in this StackOverflow answer:

Import error: No module name urllib2

Your options include

1) Find some other solutions that does not rely on unsupported Python 2

2) Try to get Python 2 installed on your computer and run the code through it

3) Update the code to support Python 3

  • Can you recommend any other way to install scrapy as the offiicial documentation is not working for me – gladi8er Apr 08 '20 at 08:47
  • Here is the offical Scrapy installation guide. Please make sure you have Python 3.5 or higher installed https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html It works. If it does not work then something is wrong with your environment and you are not using Python 3.5 or higher. – Mikko Ohtamaa Apr 08 '20 at 08:53
