AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘urlretrieve’

As you’re using Python 3, there is no urllib module anymore. It has been split into several modules.

This would be equivalent to urlretrieve:

import urllib.request
data = urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://...")

urlretrieve behaves exactly the same way as it did in Python 2.x, so it’ll work just fine.

Basically:

• urlretrieve saves the file to a temporary file and returns a tuple (filename, headers)
• urlopen returns a Request object whose read method returns a bytestring containing the file contents
