AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'request'
Solution 1:
The urllib module has been split into parts and renamed in Python 3 to urllib.request, urllib.parse, and urllib.error.
Import urllib.request instead of urllib.
import urllib.request
Solution 2:
Interestingly, I noticed some IDE-depending behavior.
Both Spyder and PyCharm use the same interpreter on my machine : in PyCharm I need to do
import urllib.request
while in Spyder,
import urllib
does fine
Solution 3:
If this is on PyCharm, as was mine, make sure your file name isn't urllib.py.
