Question

Write a function to dump the html content, and save it in the same directory of your python script. The name of the saved html file should include the current time stamp.

I currently have been trying this code. But Repl.it says "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'". Could someone point out what i am doing wrong and help me include the current time stamp using 'datetime'. The format for the date and time should be YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.

import urllib2

def webpagedumb(url):

req = urllib2.Request('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page')

response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

the_page = response.read()

return

Answer 1

import urllib.request
from datetime import datetime

url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page'
request = urllib.request.Request(url)
response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)

fName = datetime.now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S")
f = open(fName + '.html', 'w')
f.write(response.read().decode('utf-8'))
f.close()

print('Completed!')

urllib2 is not present in python 3.
