Using urllib2 is a security risk!

[CodeShady]

WARNING: Security researches have found several poisoned packages on PyPI, including a package named urllib, which will 'phone home' when installed. If you used pip install urllib some time after June 2017, remove that package as soon as possible.

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.

So, replace this:

import urllib2

with this:

import urllib.request as urllib2
