python: urllib2 how to send cookie with urlopen request

by

Cookie is just another HTTP header.

import urllib2
opener = urllib2.build_opener()
opener.addheaders.append(('Cookie', 'cookiename=cookievalue'))
f = opener.open("http://example.com/")

See urllib2 examples for other ways how to add HTTP headers to your request.

There are more ways how to handle cookies. Some modules like cookielib try to behave like web browser – remember what cookies did you get previously and automatically send them again in following requests.
