How to get status code for urllib2 in python 2.7

How do I get status code in python 2.7 for urllib2? I dont want to use requests. I need urllib2.

    request = urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers)
    contents = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
    print request.getcode()
    contents = json.loads(contents) 

     <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>, AttributeError('getcode',), <traceback object at 0x7f6238792b48>

Thanks

use getcode()

>>> import urllib
>>> a=urllib.urlopen('http://www.google.com/asdfsf')
>>> a.getcode()
404
>>>

for urllib2

try:
    urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com/asdfsf')
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
    print e.code

will print

404

Just take a step back:

result = urllib2.urlopen(request)
contents = result.read()
print result.getcode()
