Is there some way to make urllib2.urlopen() perform a DELETE instead of a GET or POST?

 I'm hoping I don't have to dip way down into httplib.  I've got an application test framework built on top of urllib2.  It makes heavy use of HTTPCookieProcessor.  If I need to use the httplib calls directly, I'll have to re-implement a lot of that machinery.
