WARNING: Security researches have found several poisoned packages on PyPI, including a package named
urllib, which will ‘phone home’ when installed. If you usedpip install urllibsome time after June 2017, remove that package as soon as possible.
You can’t, and you don’t need to.
urllib2 is the name of the library included in Python 2. You can use the urllib.request library included with Python 3, instead. The urllib.request library works the same way urllib2 works in Python 2. Because it is already included you don’t need to install it.
If you are following a tutorial that tells you to use urllib2 then you’ll find you’ll run into more issues. Your tutorial was written for Python 2, not Python 3. Find a different tutorial, or install Python 2.7 and continue your tutorial on that version. You’ll find urllib2 comes with that version.
Alternatively, install the requests library for a higher-level and easier to use API. It’ll work on both Python 2 and 3.
