I don't know much about this, but might you be looking for
urllib.request.urlopen()? See
https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#module-urllib.request
in the docs.

I cannot download any external packages (other then pygame, which I got special permission for) onto the computers in the school. Therefore, I'm looking for something in the Python 3.6 Standard Library.
The above is in the standard library.
