[larryzhang]

Dear all,

I am trying to download data from a website that requires
authentication (maybe with cookies). Any suggestions on how i can do
this with the urllib.request module in py3? Where can I can find some
working examples? Thanks a lot.

Hi, Larry.

Did you get a look at library documentation? If you take a look at
http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/urllib.request.html, FancyURLOpener
could do the job for you... (once you subclass it, and redefine the
promp_user_password method).
