urllib.urlopen

[JabaPyth]

I tried using urllib2 and this is what i got:
>>import urllib2
>>the_url = 'http://www.google.com'
>>req = urllib2.Request(the_url)
>>handle = urllib2.urlopen(req)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 130, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 358, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib2.py", line 376, in _open
    '_open', req)
