Equivalent of your code using urllib2:
Code
import urllib2
results = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.youtube.com').read()
print results* - Goodies - Jan 5, 2017
Except don't use urllib2. Use requests. It's an incredibly common, supported, and featurefull extension that can be downloaded with pip.

I'd definetly recommend using requests. It's really easy to use and has a good documentation. http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/
The equivalent to your code would be
Code
import requests
r = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com")
print(r.text)* - Infamia - Jan 6, 2017
Honestly there are a myriad of libraries on requests;
sockets
urllib
urllib2
requests
(forgot the rest)
Sockets is the Assembly of the Urllib which is C to the Python-level requests.
(Sockets = hardest, Urllib = intermediate-ish, Requests = ez pz)

If you are using pip, just type "pip install requests" in your console, this will install the requests library.

You should have it, if not read this, if you do have it just type "pip install requests" in the command line.

You don't have pip installed. Ok so firstly you need python in your enviroment variable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKvJL6AlTI8
This is extrememly useful ^^
After you've done all that, you may need to restart pc. Type into CMD :
PHP Code
<?php
python -m pip install requests
