I'm using Python 3.1, if that helps.

Anyways, I'm trying to get the contents of this webpage. I Googled for a little bit and tried different things, but they didn't work. I'm guessing that this should be an easy task, but...I can't get it. :/.

Results of urllib, urllib2:

>>> import urllib2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import urllib2
ImportError: No module named urllib2
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    urllib.urlopen("http://www.python.org")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'
>>>

Thank you, Jason. :D.

import urllib.request

If you ask me. try this one

import urllib2
resp = urllib2.urlopen('http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=zezima')

and read the normal way ie

page = resp.read()

Good luck though

Also you can use faster_than_requests package. That's very fast and simple:

import faster_than_requests as r
content = r.get2str("http://test.com/")

Look at this comparison:

Suppose you want to GET a webpage's content. The following code does it: 

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# python

# example of getting a web page

from urllib import urlopen
print urlopen("http://xahlee.info/python/python_index.html").read()
