The way to do it with the handlers follows; oddly, it's just about as
long.
import urllib2
url = 'http://somewhere'
realm, user, pass = 'realm', 'user', 'pass'
hm = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
hm.add_password(realm, url, user, pass)
od = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(hm))
content = od.open(url).read()
