ck = cookielib.CookieJar()

opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))

loginn = urllib.urlencode({'username' : username, 'j_password' : password})

Check first which python version you are using to execute code. To check python version use check this in terminal:

C:\Users\real>python --version
Python 3.9.10

If you are working with python3.X, then library urllib2, cookielib are not available for any version 3.x.

I found this resources if you wand to migrate from python2.x to python3.x The cookielib module has been renamed to http.cookiejar in Python 3.0. Docs for http.cookiejar.

try:
    import cookielib
except:
    import http.cookiejar
    cookielib = http.cookiejar

Also urllib2 module is changed to urllib3 module in python3.X. Docs for urrlib3
