Are you trying to call the search API ?  If so, the default urllib/urllib2
actions won't help you, since all these result in GET requests.
If you try to  use HTTP GET you will get "405 - Method not allowed".

You need to POST to this API. It is not directly possible using urllib/urllib2.
You can use httplib for this.

Also take a look at this recipe
