Get
urllib的request模块可以非常方便地抓取URL内容，也就是发送一个GET请求到指定的页面，然后返回HTTP的响应
from urllib import request
with request.urlopen('https://api.douban.com/v2/book/2129650') as f:
data = f.read()
print('Status:', f.status, f.reason)
for k, v in f.getheaders():
print('%s: %s' % (k, v))
print('Data:', data.decode('utf-8'))
可以看到HTTP响应的头和JSON数据：
Status: 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Tue, 26 May 2015 10:02:27 GMT
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 2049
Connection: close
Expires: Sun, 1 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT
Pragma: no-cache

X-DAE-Node: pidl1
Data: {"rating":{"max":10,"numRaters":16,"average":"7.4","min":0},"subtitle":"","author":["88编著"],"pubdate":"2007-6",...}
如果我们要想模拟浏览器发送GET请求，就需要使用Request对象，通过往Request对象添加HTTP头，我们就可以把请求伪装成浏览器。例如，模拟iPhone 6去请求豆瓣首页：
from urllib import request
req = request.Request('http://www.douban.com/')
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/6.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 8_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25')
with request.urlopen(req) as f:
print('Status:', f.status, f.reason)
for k, v in f.getheaders():
print('%s: %s' % (k, v))
print('Data:', f.read().decode('utf-8'))
Post
如果要以POST发送一个请求，只需要把参数data以bytes形式传入。
我们模拟一个微博登录，先读取登录的邮箱和口令，然后按照weibo.cn的登录页的格式以username=xxx&password=xxx的编码传入：
from urllib import request, parse
print('Login to weibo.cn...')
email = input('Email: ')
passwd = input('Password: ')
login_data = parse.urlencode([
('username', email),
('password', passwd),
('entry', 'mweibo'),
('client_id', ''),
('savestate', '1'),
('ec', ''),
('pagerefer', 'https://passport.weibo.cn/signin/welcome?entry=mweibo&r=http%3A%2F%2Fm.weibo.cn%2F')
])
req = request.Request('https://passport.weibo.cn/sso/login')
req.add_header('Origin', 'https://passport.weibo.cn')
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/6.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 8_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25')
req.add_header('Referer', 'https://passport.weibo.cn/signin/login?entry=mweibo&res=wel&wm=3349&r=http%3A%2F%2Fm.weibo.cn%2F')
with request.urlopen(req, data=login_data.encode('utf-8')) as f:
print('Status:', f.status, f.reason)
for k, v in f.getheaders():
print('%s: %s' % (k, v))
print('Data:', f.read().decode('utf-8'))
