   Basically all MRs welcome. This might be a python2 vs python3 thing.

   Is this script supposed to be python3 or python2? Or is it supporting both?

   Both if possible.

   https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/blob/master/requirements.txt is not listing it

   Note that

   The urllib2 module has been split across several modules in Python 3 named urllib.request and urllib.error. The 2to3 tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your sources to Python 3.

   https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/urllib2.html

   Given that python2 is EOLed maybe it would be better to supporting just Python3?

   @josegonzalez I think this can be closed.

   Python 2 support was dropped years ago, and as of commit 875e318 (PR #442), only Python 3.10+ is supported. The urllib2 module no longer exists in the codebase, urllib is used from the standard library.
