How to access the web with Python?

Two suggested answers:

http://docs.python.org/library/httplib.html

http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html

Good introduction is also a chapter from Dive into Python3 Chapter 13. HTTP Web Services

You can access websites by HTTP protocol client: httplib

Though maybe you'd like urllib2, in specific the urllib2.urlopen

Here's little example about using urllib2:

import urllib2
page = urllib2.urlopen("http://example.com/").read()
print page
