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

Question

I am trying to write a program that will download mp3\'s off of a website then join them together but whenever I try to download the files I get this error:

Answer 1

A Python 2+3 compatible solution is:

import sys

if sys.version_info[0] >= 3:
    from urllib.request import urlretrieve
else:
    # Not Python 3 - today, it is most likely to be Python 2
    # But note that this might need an update when Python 4
    # might be around one day
    from urllib import urlretrieve

# Get file from URL like this:
urlretrieve("http://www-scf.usc.edu/~chiso/oldspice/m-b1-hello.mp3")
