+.. note::
+   The :mod:`urllib2` module has been split across several modules in
+   Python 3.0 named :mod:`urllib.request` and :mod:`urllib.error`.
+   The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting
+   your sources to 3.0.
+
+
 The :mod:`urllib2` module defines functions and classes which help in opening
 URLs (mostly HTTP) in a complex world --- basic and digest authentication,
 redirections, cookies and more.
