'Memory limit exceeded' error when trying to import urllib

Question

Does Code Playground allow to use Python's urllib module and get data from the web? When I write 'import urllib.request' (without quotation marks, of course), and nothing else, in the output page I see 'Memory limit exceeded'. So this happens even if I just import the module and do not have any other code. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

I'm afraid it can't be done. Importing the whole module proved to be too much for the Playground to handle. Even before the current 'memory problems'.

Answer 2

Interestingly, it happens even if I write 'from urllib.request import urlopen' (suppose it should use less memory in this case)

Answer 3

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know sololearn playground is having issues with Python memory limit exceeded
