You just need to add an 'Authorization' header to send with
the request.

Below is a simple example with httplib that may point you in
the right direction:

import httplib
import base64

#make encoded Authorization string
username="choyoonbae"
passwd="LetMeIn"
authinfo = base64.encodestring(username + ":" + passwd)

h = httplib.HTTP('www.somesecretplace.com')
h.putrequest('GET', '/top/secret/document')
#put any needed headers here
h.putheader('Authorization', "Basic " + authinfo)
h.endheaders()
responsecode, responsemsg, headers = h.getreply()
#do what you want with responsecode, responsemsg, headers here
f = h.getfile()
data = f.read()
f.close()

print data

Hope this helps.
