Of course. Though I can see why you wondered.

What I tried were these 3 lines:
import urllib
a =
urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500)
print(a[123:140])
which got me
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\P31Working\test_urllib.py", line 2, in <module>
a =
urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'request'
Process terminated with an exit code of 1
Doing it your way,
from urllib import request
a =
request.urlopen('http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/currency/CUR_USDYEN').read(20500)
print(a[123:140])
succeeds. Why?
Anyway, thanks.
Dick
