ImportError: No module named 'urllib2'
I'm telling Python to import because it doesn't exist and it throws an
error. I don't get it; I just don't get it. If I'm working with R, I can
import thousands of libraries with no errors whatsoever. With Python, I
just get thousands of errors with nothing working whatsoever. I totally
don't understand this language. Import means import. Right. WTF!!!!!
So, maybe Import doesn't mean import -- perhaps you expect import to
retrieve content from the web and make it importable(1). That's not what
python's import does. Python's version looks for a local module to import.
I'd suggest starting with the tutorial.

(1) which would imply execution of arbitrary code.

requests is a better choice than urllib
To an experienced user yes, to an inexperienced OP who can't even run a
Python program without help a very emphatic no.
