Hope this helps somewhat. The following works for me:

import urllib
print urllib.urlopen("http://admin:myadminpasswd@localhost:8080/manage/").read()

The $%~]\ Zope then prints an error page saying I need a frame
compatible browser to access this page. So you can either trick Zope by
feeding it the headers it wants (most probably User-Agent) or hack the
DTML/HTML source of the page. Good luck!

I'm currently trying to unit-test a Zope Dababase Adapter. If testing is
your aim, I found useful stuff by using the keywords "unit testing" in
the Zope search engine at www.zope.org.
