I'm trying to run a REST API on CentOS 7, I read urllib.parse is in Python 3 but I'm using Python 2.7.5 so I don't know how to install this module.

I installed all the requirements but still can't run the project.

When I'm looking for a URL I get this (I'm using the browsable interface):

Output:

ImportError at /stamp/
No module named urllib.parse

• python
• django
• urllib

If you need to write code which is Python2 and Python3 compatible you can use the following import

try:
    from urllib.parse import urlparse
except ImportError:
     from urlparse import urlparse

You want urlparse using python2:

from urlparse import urlparse

With the information you have provided, your best bet will be to use Python 3.x.

Your error suggests that the code may have been written for Python 3 given that it is trying to import urllib.parse. If you've written the software and have control over its source code, you should change the import to:

from urlparse import urlparse

urllib was split into urllib.parse, urllib.request, and urllib.error in Python 3.

I suggest that you take a quick look at software collections in CentOS if you are not able to change the imports for some reason. You can bring in Python 3.3 like this:

1. yum install centos­-release­-SCL
2. yum install python33
3. scl enable python33

Check this page out for more info on SCLs

python3 supports urllib.parse and python2 supports urlparse

If you want both compatible then the following code can help.

import sys

if ((3, 0) <= sys.version_info <= (3, 9)):
    from urllib.parse import urlparse
elif ((2, 0) <= sys.version_info <= (2, 9)):
    from urlparse import urlparse

Install six, the Python 2 and 3 Compatibility Library:

$ sudo -H pip install six

Use it:

from six.moves.urllib.parse import urlparse

(edit: I deleted the other answer)

For python 3 pip install urllib

find the utils.py in %PYTHON_HOME%\Lib\site-packages\solrcloudpy\utils.py

change the import urlparse to

from urllib import parse as urlparse

For Python 3, use the following:

import urllib.parse

The problem was because I had a lower version of Django (1.4.10), so Django Rest Framework need at least Django 1.4.11 or bigger. Thanks for their answers guys!

Here the link for the requirements of Django Rest: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/

Manually include urllib.parse: https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/urllib.parse.html#module-urllib.parse

pip install -U websocket 

I just use this to fix my problem
