Downloading pages from a Windows Intranet

[R.Marquez]

Trying to use urllib or urllib2 to get a page from our Intranet
(Windows) gives me an Access Denied error.  The funny thing is that on
some pages it works (?).  Any way, someone found a Perl module
(Win32::Internet) that creates an object oriented interface to the
Win32 Internet Functions (WININET.DLL).  With it we can get any page
from our intranet, even asp pages.  Is there an equivalent module or
functions that I could use from Python?  Or can anyone give me an
example of how to work around this?  Or should I just settle for a
Perl/Python solution?
