When I try to follow the Python Wiki's example related to URL encoding:
>>> import urllib
>>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("", params)
>>> print f.read()
An error is raised on the second line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlencode'
What am I missing?

urllib has been split up in Python 3.
The urllib.urlencode() function is now urllib.parse.urlencode(),
the urllib.urlopen() function is now urllib.request.urlopen().
import urllib.parse
urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
You use the Python 2 docs but write your program in Python 3.
