how and with which python library is it possible to make an httprequest (https) with a user:password or a token?
basically the equivalent to curl -u user:pwd https://www.mysite.com/
thank you
class urllib2.HTTPSHandler 
A class to handle opening of HTTPS URLs.
21.6.7. HTTPPasswordMgr Objects
These methods are available on HTTPPasswordMgr and HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects.
HTTPPasswordMgr.add_password(realm, uri, user, passwd) 
uri can be either a single URI, or a sequence of URIs. realm, user and passwd must be strings. This causes (user, passwd) to be used as authentication tokens when authentication for realm and a super-URI of any of the given URIs is given.
HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password(realm, authuri) 
Get user/password for given realm and URI, if any. This method will return (None, None) if there is no matching user/password.
For HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects, the realm None will be searched if the given realm has no matching user/password.
