Can't find urllib2 or urlretrieve in Pythin 3.1.2

[Kevin Kraft]

I have installed Python 3.1.2 on a Windows 7 64-bit VM. When I attempt to import urllib2 it fails with the error:

ImportError: No module named urllib2

I tried using urllib.urlretri eve but that also doesn't exist:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlretrieve'

I tried re-installing Python and still get the above errors.

This all works on my non-VM Windows 7 machine.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

FYI: I worked around this by importing urllib.request and calling urllib.request. urlretrieve().

Kevin,

The following statement is from python.org and explains why you could not import urllib2:

Note:
The urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3.0 named urllib.request and urllib.error. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to 3.0.
