How login & download file from remote web site? Passwords a problem?

[seberino at spawar.navy.mil]

How make a Python script

1. login
2. type password &
3. download file

all from a **remote web site**?

I'm not comfortable with *MY* software handling the password part.

It just seems like trouble if users must tell *my* software their
password.

Is there a wise way to solve this or avoid this can of worms?
