I do this from a bat file that I will later translate to Python.
I tell my work wiki which file I want. I use chrome, so for every new 
session I'm asked for my credentials. However, that is all transparent 
to my bat file.

For that matter, when I download a new build from part of another bat 
file, I use Firefox and never see the credential exchange.

I wouldn't expect any different behavior using Python.
