Look at the traceback: your code executes "from urllib.request import
urlopen". That line in turn executes "import http.client". And *that*
fails, which causes the first import to fail.
It fails because you have shadowed the built-in package http with your
own module http.py.
Rename your file to something else ("myhttp.py") and it should just work.
