I have tried

or

import urllib

The path for my urllib is /Library/Framework

Answer 1

If nothing above worked for you, try renaming your python module.

In my particular case, the issue was that the file I was running was called http.py. Once I changed the name to test-http.py, importing urllib.request resolved the error AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'request'

I had noticed that further up the exception trace the internal packages were trying to fetch a module called http, so guessing my module's name was wonkin stuff up...
