How do I use basic HTTP authentication with the python Requests library?

by

You need to use a session object and send the authentication each request. The session will also track cookies for you:

session = requests.Session()
session.auth = (user, password)

auth = session.post('http://' + hostname)
response = session.get('http://' + hostname + '/rest/applications')
