Description

It's giving this error when i execute: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'.

What I Did

I'm trying to execute this code that i got on the lib page on pypi.org.

from googlesearch.googlesearch import GoogleSearch
response = GoogleSearch().search("something")
for result in response.results:
  print("Title: " + result.title)
  print("Content: " + result.getText())

@tsukuuyomi

I had the same issue too and I only know the reason for the issue. Looking forward for the solution.

Reason for that is there's no package called urllib2 in python-3 version. It's only in python-2. Instead there's an equivalent which is urllib.request for it. I think the author should modify that in order to make it compatible for newer python version.

Please anyone help us in getting this issue resolved.

@shashank7596 just importing it as import urllib.request as urllib2 does not work either. :/ It gives me a weird 'list index out of range' error, presumably from the urllib.request.quote() I am unsure of what causes the error, but just fixing the import does not seem to solve the issue. I think there are a few changes I am missing.

this is still a problem it seems, tried the example on the module README

>>> from googlesearch.googlesearch import GoogleSearch
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<HIDDENPATH>/site-packages/googlesearch/googlesearch.py", line 6, in <module>
    import urllib2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib2'
>>> response = GoogleSearch().search("something")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'GoogleSearch' is not defined
>>> for result in response.results:
...     print("Title: " + result.title)
...     print("Content: " + result.getText())
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

I am having the same issue, I peeked and found this line was the culprit.

totalText = soup.select(GoogleSearch.TOTAL_SELECTOR)[0].children.next().encode('utf-8')

Printing the soup object returns and empty list. print(soup.select(GoogleSearch.TOTAL_SELECTOR)) # outputs []

I will dig more into it.
