Been a while since I posted here!

For any kind of client side HTTP coding, I suggest the new requests library.
I myself have been a heavy user of urllib2/urllib but these libraries are
developer unfriendly and doesnt look like their problems are going to get
fixed soon.

Read this excellent blog post by Danny on comparing urllib2 vs requests.
