Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN readers link this 2008 post on the reorganization of Python 3 libraries, citing it for where urllib.request came from. The only comment cites it as a source and does not judge it.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. There was some reorganization for Python 3: https://jeremyhylton.blogspot.com/2008/06/ I think there's quite a lot of use of requests that would be fine with 'urllib.request.urlopen(...)'.
