I've had good luck using urllib2 and a cookiejar.  Just post your login
credentials against the login url, keep all the cookies and then make
your other requests using that cookiejar.  Besides the Python standard
library docs on urllib2 and cookielib, here's an article that gives an
overview of how to use it:

This technique has the advantage of not requiring anything outside of
the standard library.
