你基本上已经回答了自己Or it only means "fetching (data with the given) URLs?HTTP is based on requests and responses - the client makes requests and servers send responses. urllib.request mirrors this with a Request object which represents the HTTP request you are making. In its simplest form you create a Request object that specifies the URL you want to fetch. Calling urlopen with this Request object returns a response object for the URL requested. This response is a file-like object, which means you can for example call .read() on the response […]
此外,方法urlopen接受字符串或Request对象(请参见documentation):The urllib.request module defines the following functions:
urllib.request.urlopen(url, data=None, [timeout, ]*, cafile=None,
capath=None, cadefault=False, context=None)
Open the URL url, which can be either a string or a Request object.
