A less specific technique is: try: from urllib import urlopen except ImportError: from urllib.request import urlopen Even better, the six package, which helps with 2/3 compatibility, provides this: from six.moves.urllib.request import urlopen which works on both 2 and 3. --Ned. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
