Printing HTTP request results in Python using urllib

You have just just packaged and sent a GET request to "http://www.datacamp.com/teach/documentation" and then caught the response. You saw that such a response is a http.client.HTTPResponse object. The question remains: what can you do with this response?

Well, as it came from an HTML page, you could read it to extract the HTML and, in fact, such a http.client.HTTPResponse object has an associated read() method. In this exercise, you'll build on your previous great work to extract the response and print the HTML.

Send the request and catch the response in the variable response with the function urlopen(), as in the previous exercise.
Extract the response using the read() method and store the result in the variable html.
Print the string html.
Hit submit to perform all of the above and to close the response: be tidy!
