Answer 1

It's most probable that you are using Python 3.

With Python versions > 3, those relevant modules are structured like this :

Current Name      Replacement Name
urllib2           urllib.request, urllib.error
urlparse          urllib.parse
urllib            urllib.parse, urllib.request, urllib.error [6]
robotparser       urllib.robotparser

Answer 2

I guess you are using Python 3. In Python 3, urllib2 is renamed to urllib.
