As stated in the urllib2 documentation:
The
urllib2module has been split across several modules in Python 3 namedurllib.requestandurllib.error. The2to3tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3.
So you should instead be saying
from urllib.request import urlopen
html = urlopen("http://www.google.com/").read()
print(html)
Your current, now-edited code sample is incorrect because you are saying urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com/") instead of just urlopen("http://www.google.com/").

For a script working with Python 2 (tested versions 2.7.3 and 2.6.8) and Python 3 (3.2.3 and 3.3.2+) try:
#! /usr/bin/env python
try:
    # For Python 3.0 and later
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError:
    # Fall back to Python 2's urllib2
    from urllib2 import urlopen
html = urlopen("http://www.google.com/")
print(html.read())

The above didn't work for me in 3.3. Try this instead (YMMV, etc)
import urllib.request
url = "http://www.google.com/"
request = urllib.request.Request(url)
response = urllib.request.urlopen(request)
print (response.read().decode('utf-8'))

Python 3:
import urllib.request
wp = urllib.request.urlopen("http://google.com")
pw = wp.read()
print(pw)
Python 2:
import urllib
import sys
wp = urllib.urlopen("http://google.com")
for line in wp:
    sys.stdout.write(line)
While I have tested both the Codes in respective versions.
