Help Please: 'module' object has no attribute 'compile'

[livin]

Oh, no I did not create any modules, wish I had the knowledge to do so!

I think I've moved beyond whatever that issue was and now getting a timeout. 
The info is below... any help you can give is appreciate!


I'm running this code...

import os, re, string, urllib, types
data = urllib.urlencode({'control_device': 'Kitchen Lights=on'})
urllib.urlopen('http://192.168.1.11', data)


and get this error log from Python...

File "Q:\python\python23.zlib\urllib.py", line 78, in urlopen
File "Q:\python\python23.zlib\urllib.py", line 183, in open
File "Q:\python\python23.zlib\urllib.py", line 297, in open_http
