Python: Importing urllib.quote

Question

I would like to use urllib.quote(). But python (python3) is not finding the module. Suppose, I have this line of code:

print(urllib.quote("châteu", safe=''))

How do I import urllib.quote?

import urllib or import urllib.quote both give

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'quote'

What confuses me is that urllib.request is accessible via import urllib.request

Answer 1

In Python 3.x, you need to import urllib.parse.quote:

>>> import urllib.parse
>>> urllib.parse.quote("châteu", safe='')
'ch%C3%A2teu'

According to Python 2.x urllib module documentation:

NOTE

The urllib module has been split into parts and renamed in Python 3 to urllib.request, urllib.parse, and urllib.error.
