Answer 1

You've imported urlopen directly, so you should refer to it like that rather than via urllib:

response = urlopen('...')

You can also try in Python 3:

from six.moves import urllib

temp_file, _ = urllib.request.urlretrieve(url)

urllib is part of the standard library. You don't need to install urllib3 which is a different library. Also, urlopen returns a file-like object, not the html. – Coloratura

Answer 5

For your case:

import networkx as net
from urllib.request import urlopen
def read_lj_friends(g, name):
# fetch the friend-list from LiveJournal
response=urlopen('http://www.livejournal.com/misc/fdata.bml?user='+name)

Welcome to SO. Your post contains exactly the same code as in the original question, except for the stray back tick at the end. See stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer for guidance. – Convexoconvex

Hey, thanks. The only change required in code is removing urllib in the last line of code. Please look once. – Degenerate
