as the authentication in the given realm
of applicable URLs, as determined by argument
URLs. realm is
either a string, the name of an authentication realm, or
None, to apply this authentication as the default
for any realm not specifically recorded.
URLs is a URL string or a sequence of URL
strings. A URL u is deemed applicable for
this authentication if there is an item u1
of URLs such that the
location components of
u and u1 are
equal, and the path component of
u1 is a prefix of that of
u. Note that other components (scheme,
query, and fragment) don’t matter to applicability
for authentication purposes.
The following example shows how to use urllib2
with basic HTTP authentication:
import urllib2
x = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm( )
x.add_password(None, 'http://myhost.com/', 'auser',
'apassword')
auth = urrlib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(x)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(auth)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
flob = urllib2.urlopen('http://myhost.com/index.html')
for line in flob.readlines( ): print line,Get Python in a Nutshell now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
