I wonder whether that ought to be something like:

  from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ENABLE_ACCESS
  ModuleSecurityInfo('urllib').setDefaultAccess(ENABLE_ACCESS)

?

The benefit of having an explicit name for "enable" is marginal, but would
become significant if there were other access modes besides ENABLE and
DISABLE - eg, "ENABLE_METHODS", "ENABLE_ATTRIBUTES", etc...
