Looks like that line needs to read
urllib.request.FancyURLopener(...

Looks like regression.py line 622 needs a similar change:
src = urllib.request.urlopen(...

These all need 2to3, too:
$ find ./tools_regression_src/ -name '*.py'

./tools_regression_src/collect_and_upload_logs.py
./tools_regression_src/process_jam_log.py
./tools_regression_src/regression.py

You might need pass '--incremental' or  '--have-source' to run.py to
keep your patch from being blown away.
