Equivalent of your code using urllib2:

Code

import urllib2

results = urllib2.urlopen('https://www.youtube.com').read()
print results

[Goodies]

Except don't use urllib2. Use requests. It's an incredibly common, supported, and featurefull extension that can be downloaded with pip.

[Sandler]

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]

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)

Bump i still need help. None of the results seemed to work for me.

<?php 
import requests
r = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com")
print(r.text) 


If this doesn't work then either we misunderstand what you're trying to do or there's a problem with your python.

Please post the error you're getting here.

You need to install pip and then use that to install the requests library.

Can you point me in the correct direction, im using a windows machine if that helps.

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.

string = urllib.urlopen("https://www.youtube.com").read()

import mechanize

op = mechanize.Browser()
string = op.open("https://www.youtube.com").read()


import requests

string = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com").text

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 


Then run the code. That should fix everything :)
