Hi,
I am new to Python, trying to learn it by carrying out specific tasks. I
want to start with trying to scrap the contents of a web page. I have
downloaded Python 3.3 and BeautifulSoup 4.
If I call upon urlopen in any form, such as below, I get the error as shown
below the syntax: Does urlopen not apply to Python 3.3? If not then
what;s the syntax I should be using? Thanks so much.
import urllib
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen("http://www.pinterest.com"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Seema\workspace\example\main.py", line 3, in <module>
soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen("http://www.pinterest.com"))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlopen'
