I don't think it is emacs... It works for me, using emacs 22.1, python
2.5.1, and windows XP:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import urllib
>>> urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com/')
