a newbie question

[zhangle2002]

hi,

I am just learning Python and get a problem when trying this example:

from urllib import urlopen
doc=urlopen("http://www.python.org").read()
print(doc)

when i run this, i was tould that 'cannot import name "urlopen"


What's wrong with this code? Do i need to place my code in some
specific directory? Thanks a lot. '

This function has been moved in Python 3.0. Change your import to

from urllib.request import urlopen

If you are learning with a book using Python 2.x consider switching to
Python 2.5 or 2.6 to try out the examples.
