We are using it like this (successfully):

requests.post(url, data=data, params=params,
              auth=(user, passwd), timeout=timeout,
              verify=verify, headers=jsonHeaders,
              )

i.e. "user" and "password" are not wrapped into an "HTTPBasicAuth"
but directly passed as tuple. However, I expect that
it would also work with an "HTTPBasicAuth" wrapping.


Note that you must pass the real username and password, not
the literals "'user'" and "'pass'".
