How to add urllib.request to Heroku requirements.txt file?

My python code uses:

import traceback
import datetime
import time
import praw  # We use version 3.6.1
import string
import urllib.request 
import json

and when deploying my requirements.txt (in it's entirety) is:

praw==3.6.1
yahoo-finance==1.4.0

As I try to deploy to Heroku I get errors such as urllib.request cannot be found... so I tried adding urllib.request to my requirements but I still get build errors saying

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement urllib.request No matching distribution found for urllib.request

So how can I resolve this problem using Heroku?

Update: Instead of using urllib I ended up using the requests library.

My python (.py) code now uses:

 import traceback
 import datetime
 import time
 import praw  # We use version 3.6.1
 import string
 import requests
 import json

My requirements.txt file is: praw==3.6.1 requests==2.13.0

That was all that was required to get this requests library to load. I could not find a version number for urllib so I gave up on trying to add it to my requirements.txt and used this other library instead.

urllib.request isn't the library, urllib is.

So even if you did from urllib import request it would work. Add 'urllib' to your requirements.txt
