Have you actually tried reading the documentation? The _very_ first section of the urllib documentation we have urllib.request.urlopen [1]. Which looks to me what you are looking for as a replacement to urllib2.urlopen(). Some *untested* inline comments below. > import urllib2 from urllib import request > a = > urllib2.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500) a = request.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500) > b = a[19000:20500] > idx_pricewrap = b.find('pricewrap') > context = b[idx_pricewrap:idx_pricewrap+80] > idx_bgLast = context.find('bgLast') > rate = context[idx_bgLast+8:idx_bgLast+15] > print rate print(rate) Also http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html discusses the automated tool for converting python code.
