How Do You Import a Link in Python?

You can't directly import a link in Python like you import modules. Python uses links to access resources online, but it doesn't treat them as importable elements.

Here's how you work with links in Python:

1. Using the urllib Module

The urllib module provides tools for fetching URLs. This is useful for retrieving data from websites.

• Example:

import urllib.request

url = "https://www.example.com"
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
html = response.read()

print(html)  # Output: The HTML content of the website

2. Using the requests Library

The requests library is a popular and powerful alternative to urllib. It simplifies making HTTP requests.

• Example:

import requests

url = "https://www.example.com"
response = requests.get(url)

print(response.text)  # Output: The HTML content of the website

3. Using the webbrowser Module

The webbrowser module allows you to open links in a web browser.

• Example:

import webbrowser

url = "https://www.example.com"
webbrowser.open(url)

These are common ways to interact with links in Python. You can use them to fetch data, interact with web services, or simply open web pages.
