python-2.7 import error: No module named 'request'

[uludag]

In my environment python-2.7 is not able to find the module urllib.request required by _pubmed_webparser.py.

If I replace the urllib import statement as suggested in this discussion then python2 is able to find the request module:

try:
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError:
    from urllib2 import urlopen

urlopen is used by the function _parse_outgoing_citationweb in the same file. For all http requests from this file requests library is used except the request made from the function _parse_outgoing_citationweb. It could be possible to use the requests library here as well? to avoid the import.

Thanks so much for the issue @uludag! I fixed it already. Let me know if you see others issue. I mostly develop in Python 3 these days and might overlook few issues with Python 2.

You cannot have request in Python 2, you need to have Python 3 or above.
