Isn't that backwards?  I mean, what's the point of implementing
Basic Authentication, unless you already know a site that uses it?

if you don't know any such site, you can set one up easily:
just run a webserver on your laptop and password-protect a page
in your server configuration.

When you've found a suitable url, take a look at HTTPBasicAuthHandler
in the urllib2 modules.


Hope this helps,
