How to read html from a url in python 3

Note that Python3 does not read the html code as a string but as a bytearray, so you need to convert it to one with decode.

import urllib.request

fp = urllib.request.urlopen(http://www.python.org)
mybytes = fp.read()

mystr = mybytes.decode(utf8)
fp.close()

print(mystr)

Try the requests module, its much simpler.

#pip install requests for installation

import requests

url = https://www.google.com/
r = requests.get(url)
r.text

urllib.request.urlopen(url).read() should return you the raw HTML page as a string.
