copied!<p>I'd recommend considering using the very excellent <code>requests</code> library which provides a nice abstraction to make urllib2 a bit easier to use.</p> <p>With <code>requests</code> you can simply do:</p> <pre><code>r = requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=('user', 'pass')) </code></pre> <p>It supports all of the request methods needed to make REST calls as well (POST, PUT, DELETE, etc...).</p> <p>You can find more here:</p> <p><a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests" rel="nofollow">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests</a></p> <hr> <p>If you absolutely <strong>MUST</strong> use plain old urllib2, here is an example of how it can be done:</p> <pre><code>import urllib2 theurl = 'http://www.someserver.com/toplevelurl/somepage.htm' username = 'johnny' password = 'XXXXXX' passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() passman.add_password(None, theurl, username, password) # because we have put None at the start it will always # use this username/password combination for urls # for which `theurl` is a super-url authhandler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passman) opener = urllib2.build_opener(authhandler) urllib2.install_opener(opener) # All calls to urllib2.urlopen will now use our handler # Make sure not to include the protocol in with the URL, or # HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm will be very confused. # You must (of course) use it when fetching the page though. pagehandle = urllib2.urlopen(theurl) # authentication is now handled automatically for us </code></pre> <p>More can be found here: <a href="http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/authentication.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/authentication.shtml</a></p>
