httplib2 (http://code.google.com/p/httplib2) by Joe Gregorio of Google
is what I use. It has an intuitive interface that's easy to use.

$ pip install httplib2

>>> import httplib2
>>> http = httplib2.Http()
>>> resp, content = http.request("http://example.org/", "GET")

Here are more examples: http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/wiki/Examples
