I'm a new python developer and I watched a few tutorials on YouTube explaining the functions and the uses for this module, but I cannot get it to work. I installed the module via pip so I don't think that is the issue.
import urllib.request
x = urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.google.com')
print(x.read())
Output:
