AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlencode'

I am using Docker to run Jupyter Notebook on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.13 and "Appendix B - OAuth Primer" section "Example 2. Facebook OAuth 2.0 Flow" can't compile and generate the following error:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
62 )
63
---> 64 oauth_url = 'https://facebook.com/dialog/oauth?' + urllib.urlencode(args)
65
66 Timer(1, lambda: display(JS("window.open('%s')" % oauth_url))).start()

AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlencode'

To resolve the issue I have found help on this Stack Overflow link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28906859/module-has-no-attribute-urlencode and their proposed solution is :

urllib has been split up in Python 3. The urllib.urlencode() function is now urllib.parse.urlencode(), and the urllib.urlopen() function is now urllib.request.urlopen().

By changing line 64 oauth_url = 'https://facebook.com/dialog/oauth?' + urllib.urlencode(args) to oauth_url = 'https://facebook.com/dialog/oauth?' + urllib.parse.urlencode(args) the error goes away.

Hi @uzabumuhire -- Thanks for catching these holdovers from Python 2. I've now changed
urllib.urlencode() to urllib.parse.urlencode(), which is the correct way to call it in Python 3.

I've removed firends_likes from the EXTENDED_PERMS list. Facebook has removed that permission from the API, so we can't make use of it anymore.

I've tested the code on my end and got it to run successfully. Please let me know if you have any other problems with it. I will close this issue for now.
