See the documenation:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html#utility-functions

Quote: "Also note that the
urllib.urlopen()<http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html#urllib.urlopen>function
has been removed in Python 3 in favor of
urllib2.urlopen()<http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html#urllib2.urlopen>
."
