How do you send an HTTP Get Web Request in Python? [duplicate]

You can use urllib2

import urllib2
content = urllib2.urlopen(some_url).read()
print content

Also you can use httplib

import httplib
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
conn.request("HEAD","/index.html")
res = conn.getresponse()
print res.status, res.reason
# Result:
200 OK

or the requests library

import requests
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))
r.status_code
# Result:
200
